This is the meeting between a series of nude self portraits and a box of women’s magazines found at a garage sale. Published in 1967-69, their pages show the kind of society I was born into – naked as a baby girl, with no idea where I had landed. I have used these clips to play with female stereotypes in a subtle way, but also to cover up one of today’s biggest taboos: nudity, aka female nipples and pubic hair, a no-go zone on social media.
