I am fascinated by our struggle to impose order on our bodies and an unruly world. Whether depicting squashed bugs under tape, Victorian facial hairstyles, or a filigree of dead flowers and hair, my work is united around an exploration of that tension between nature and our desire for control. I find a window into that tension through the exploration of related dichotomies, in the merging of sensuality and sterility, entropy and design, containment and vulnerability, or control and subjection. |

Flora and Fauna Prints Between 2002 and 2005, I created a body of print work in which I scavenged nature for things to portray, depicting things that explore human experiences on a visceral level, yet are alien or other from our bodies. Photographing everything from stitched dried pods, to taped spider specimen, I focused on the physical and emotional experience of containment, as well as the urge to contain or control. |
