My Mother’s Afternoons (The People Supreme Court) is an extension of an ongoing collaboration, initiated thirteen years ago, entitled My Mother’s Afternoons. Where as My Mother’s Afternoon’s depicts a cross section of daytime television, The People’s Supreme Court focuses on “reality courtroom” programs, specifically the judges that preside over them.

The project is a humorous critique on the state of contemporary media and the vernacular portrayl, as well as the day-to-day experience of the American legal system.

The work consists of a series of photographic portraits, taken directly off of the tv screen.
