This series of photos was made over a long period of time (2005-2009) in Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco and Los Angeles, California; and Phoenix, Arizona. They represent moments borrowed from four women: Christine, her sister Gina and Christine's two daughters Sloane and Sasha. Christine's instability, Sasha's melancholy, Sloane's repeated transformations and Gina's gender ambiguity add up to a whole spectrum of ever-changing seductions. The balance between promises and threats is sometimes unstable, shifting more clearly to one or the other.
