My work operates within ecology and illusion. A world of images that form our idea of the natural, and our interactions with others. I collaborate with non-human-kinds and cultural institutions to reflect upon the impulses and methods used to draw others into the world-for-us.
Photography expands into performance, sculpture and installation. Viewing conditions continually change. I inhabit moments of mediation where categorical shifts occur. Sometimes I find them – white deer with amnesty among hunters. Sometimes I make them – growing food into plants. I wonder what happens to the choir when everybody mimes? What the hunter achieves when their prey doesn’t show up?
