I am extremely excited to present a GAQ feature interview and photo spread with incredible photographer and artist, Sophia Wallace. Wallace merges narrative, documentary, fashion, and performance strategies to create dialogue around notions of gender and identity.  And it’s beautiful work. Perhaps the most striking thing about Wallace’s work for me is her ability to create imagery as crisp and fashion-forward as those in your latest issue of Vogue, while simultaneously offering cultural commentary and bringing thought provoking themes to the fore.  

I asked Wallace some questions about her work, her process and the ideas behind it all. Click the photo for the entire spread, or click HERE to download.

"It’s very, very important that you study poetry and understand that it’s a cruel master, because it will whip your ass sometimes - but you will look up and say “thank you” and come on back into the wind and begin that process again. Poetry, to me, is the greatest genre on the planet earth because it is an exacting mistress and master - because it does kick your ass; but it also sings to you sometimes in the morning. When you do a poem, and you say it and go out on the porch and say it again, and it sings to you, you have to thank the Creator for making you a poet."

HOLY SHIT, IT'S A FUCKING RAINBOW.: snow and dirty rain by richard siken

Close your eyes. A lover is standing too close
to focus on. Leave me blurry and fall toward me
with your entire body. Lie under the covers, pretending
to sleep, while I’m in the other room. Imagine
my legs crossed, my hair combed,…
