A Culted Nature (Fourth year BFA 2012)

“In this body of work i am celebrating the nostalgic significance that objects in nature have to humans, alongside the evidence of our desire to control and cultivate it. I offer my practice as a form of self-fetish, glorifying a nature that has been culted; revealing an imaginative and ideological world. Possibilities are explored within the parallels of life, death, creation and manipulation, rooted in my personal romanced version of natural history.”
