Making connections via social networking, Jennifer Mills has made small portraits of hundreds of her namesakes as a way of exploring contemporary identity. The result is more than 300 portraits of Jennifer Mills’.

This project started with a name, mine
I found Jennifer spending time with her family and friends, celebrating weddings, showing off her new baby, lying on a beach or soliciting for a mate. What started as a curious narcissistic exercise raised interesting questions about the nature of identity, our sense of self, real and imagined.
