This series, Un-Natural Boundaries, extends themes from earlier work by incorporating images of natural objects that have been manipulated into architectural forms. These act as a counterpoint to highly finished objects and suggest a relationship between cultural and natural boundaries.
Imagery includes scanned sticks and picture frames arranged into spatially ambiguous surfaces.
Picture frames traditionally delineate, or border one area of activity from another and suggest cultural significance. Viewers are invited to question their initial preconceptions concerning relative value. These works draw from diverse sources of personal experience, observation, and history, art and otherwise. They attempt to connect disparate aspects of culture and human behavior. A middle class, suburban, background has led me to a keen awareness of the cultural significance of boundaries.
