Body painted female & pet python.
Wild is an adjective we often use to describe animals, reflecting the distance separating
our civilized life-styles from the outlying natural world. In the Ani-human series, the
gap between humans and wild animals is diminished, along with any hierarchy that has been
imposed by the technology of man. Each subject, whether animal or human, is equal.
Although, the human subject could even be seen as subservient, trying to mimic the grace
and physical beauty of the animal, yet imperfectly. An observation that is emphasized by
the animals’ effortless elegance placed in both a man-made studio and an environmental
backdrop. Together without a spatial barrier, an original relationship unfolds between the
animal and the human, a peaceful coexistence that is not exploited by the somatic
dominance of the animal. Snapshots of these interactions convey a joint persistence,
though it is safe to say these interactions do not persist in space and time. The series
portrays the certainty that a tranquil co-inhabitance can exist, and therefore the
possibility that it could propagate.
