35mm Photography, 13” x 19”, $150.00
Seeks to reclaim our bodies from our complicated contemporary culture in an effort to return them to we truly are–an echo of nature. These 35mm photographs depict found natural objects in stark comparison with parts of the artist’s body with little digital manipulation. Within a society that polices bodies so heavily, holds them to beauty standards or censors them for being profane, this series reclaims the artist’s body as nature and treats it with the same amount of respect for form, love for texture and admiration for the imperfect detail. Instead of representing an isolated ideal, the body here is a part of a larger ecosystem; being human means growing, breathing and bettering our environment in society, in nature and within ourselves
