Statement
I have become captivated by a dialogue that emerges between the domestic and the natural. To observe--whether it is of a person or an animal--the tamed movements and the refined disposition one assumes within a primitive milieu.
I find the relationship between the subjects and their organic contexts to be very complex and compelling; an inherent yearning to reassimilate into a place of which they were once so dependent and connected, and a simultaneous resistance to be fully consumed. In their domesticity, against curtains of foliage and vast fields and voids of soil and water, these figures resonate and negate the uninhibited.
