Nicole Cudzilo:
Come High Noon
Artist Statement
Come High Noon is an open ended linear series to be read from either direction, separately or simultaneously, leaving space for the viewer to complete the narrative. Place, costuming and stylization are all aspects that I consider when crafting these charactered self portraits, and I hope that they spark questions of duality, personal identity, and feminine stereotypes.
