Try-On-At-Home explores notions of identity, persona and influence. The series of composite images is created through a sequence of inefficient and unnecessary processes, reflecting the call and response of the consumer system from which the series takes its name.
Each final image is comprised of two seperate selfies, an appropriated portrait of a white, female-identifying public figure, and a royalty-free stock image background. The images utilize a face mask constructed from repurposed materials to form a wearable green screen. While these images could easily have been created without the existance of this mask, it is the catalyst of this absurd system, and it renders the contructed persona even more bizarre—layering material and image only to create a poorly ‘shopped, Frankensteinian estimation.
