Perfect Imperfection
Five years ago, it started as a casual conversation about liposuction with fellow photographer Liz LaVorgna at one of her exhibitions and became a collaborative effort, Perfect Imperfection. This project was a window to emotion presenting what people feel is/was imperfect about themselves emotionally or physically.
Perfect Imperfection was about discovery upon a road to acceptance of the self. Click to hear more about Perfect Imperfection on Vermont Public Radio or read about the 2015 show at the Vermont Center for Photography.
