About Anne Burlock Lawver :
With an Art History degree I worked for 25+ years in Information Systems before leaving that career to become an events photographer for about 5 years. In the last 10 years, I’ve been able to turn my energies to working on personal projects, which is my joy.
My great desire is to create interesting and worthwhile photographs. I have long been fascinated by the way we prepare ourselves to face the world and this project began as a way of exploring the transformation that took place each morning as I used make-up and wig to create the desired illusion. I was the model who would always be available and I learned to use my self in an objective way. But, slowly, as the year progressed, the stripping away of that mask I had created became more and more the subject of the photographs, the moments of stillness, of resignation, the moments of acceptance, the body unadorned and exposed. I stripped away the color that I usually worked with and began to use strong directional light in order to create high contrast black and white images of form. The original project was, itself, stripped of its preparation to face the world.
