To Become No One<br />

Taken over the last couple years, these works are images of the ‘other’. The other in<br />

terms of another body: a strange physical form or our own form on days we feel at<br />

war within, as well as the other in nature: the all encompassing presence of systems<br />

so much bigger than us. It is within our own vessels we experience the other, it is<br />

within the body we find the husk of what differentiates and connects us to the earth.<br />

These images are not just an ode to the beauty of the earth but of the naked figure,<br />

acknowledging the isolation and despair our residing within them can cause. Intimacy<br />

with the self comes from time with ourselves alone, and peace comes from our<br />

time alone in Nature. When we return to the body: we return to the earth.<br />
