Flag Girls 2008 (WIP)
A tangent exploring geographical/national identity that I’ve been working on. I’m an avid collector of books on the bizarre and obscure. It’s all fodder for the feast, grist for the mill, [insert your favourite cliched adage here].
Below is the photo that sparked the inspiration for this series (from Hoaxes, Humbugs and Spectacles, Mark Sloan, 1990).
If this image ain’t creepy, I dunno what is. The title of the photo is PAGEANT AT THE GIRLS’ ORPHANAGE, 1918. Cooperstown, NY.
