Vestal Virgins in Puget Sound

In addition to physical adornment, I am interested in our occasional need to costume and mask ourselves, in order to become someone else, if only momentarily.  The large-scale heads in this print play off this sense of masking.  Some are self-portraits.  Featuring an aerial map-like view of Puget Sound, each Vestal Virgin speaks a phrase, culled from local histories and guidebooks that describe unique attributes of Puget Sound. –Artist statement
