MEMENTO MORI
2007-2010
These objects and animals serve as a reminder of our own mortality and transience. Whether it is a living, breathing being or an inanimate object, every entity experiences its own slow march toward eradication and dissolution. While there can certainly be a level of repulsion associated with some of these images, for me there is a level of calm and quiet to them as well. I see them as elegies, tributes to creatures and relics that have been left to dissolve into the earth.
