‘Official Ugly Face Folder’ (2013) — from 12. April 2020 (WeTransfer notes): “It’s a mixed bag, but could be kept together in the archive and labelled as such (‘Ugly Face Folder’). It’s all subjective, what seems ugly when one looks at oneself. This was an attempt at ‘control’ almost by calling the images ugly I could somehow ameliorate the ‘ugliness’ I felt looking at them.” – SMW.

From 12. April 2020 (WeTransfer notes): “they are a bit too close for me to properly ‘judge’, they are a bit neutral for me. Carolee always told me to go to where the difficulty was, and somehow my face has always been a challenging situation.” – SMW. 30. April 2020 (inventory note): “I also think of Jo Spence, the British artist, being told she was ‘brave’ for using her own image when she was not classically beautiful. And Carolee Schneemann and Hannah Wilke subverting the ‘ideal image’. I feel somewhere in between as I swing between ‘more ideal’ and ‘less ideal’.” – SMW.
