Artist Statement:
Using traditional vanitas
imagery as the initial
impetus, my recent photographs
deal with visceral life
fluids, the slippery nature of
time, as well as the cyclical
qualities of life accessed
through time's stoppage
(photography). The artist
Christian Boltanski believes
that photography is associated
with death and the past. But
is it possible that
photography represents the
eternal present?
My Memento Mori Series
includes photographs of life
fluids (eggs, blood, milk,
Pepto Bismol) juxtaposed with
death materials (cigarettes,
blood, ashes). The Naturaleza
Muerta Series(literally
translated as "Dead Nature")
uses the diptych to show
silmilar yet altered imagery
that has been transformed by
time or destroyed by the
artist's hand. A contrast is
established, yet, for me,
using a Taoist perspective,
life and death are the same.
They are intertwined. Maybe
there is no "in between."
Maybe the area or the moment
between the two images is
actually an illusion. ...
