A2:

I was directly responding to the image of "Miss N." by Gertrude Kasebier in these images. I feel as though I tried to portray the artist within ourselves feel that Kasebier captures as well as the mystery that is left when viewing most of Kasebier's work. I played off the sensual pose that is used, holding the vase but removed the faces of my female family members. I wished to play on the fact of being so similar while at the same time so different. By posing all three of us in similar fashion and causing the plane of focus to go to the vase I hoped to make the view see the subtle differences; the skin texture, the body size, the vase size, the slouch, the way we hold a handle, etc.
