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.
