Images 4 & 5: I’ll Be Your Mirror…. Sweet, cheeky and irreverent, I am drawn to, inspired and comforted by these images. A beautifully posed and composed photograph paired with a fleeting affectionate moment captured by the ever-present photographer. Alice, you create spaces and stages resistant to time for you and your friends to explore and perform on. A shoulder rests against another, a paw touches and a gaze from in front of and behind the camera connect us.

Text by: Victoria Munro, Artist, Executive Director of the Alice Austen House and fierce supporter of the truthful interpretation of Alice Austen’s life and work.
