Into the Woods
2009-2010
digital prints, each banner 144" x 30", drawings of ticks and dead ticks
Into the Woods investigates the adaptations we must make as biological mutations, global warming and developmental pressures affect our lives. I use sardonically humorous images to illustrate these adaptations.
This piece was 'inspired' by the prevalence of tick borne diseases in my home town. The daily routine of walking my dog has become a ritual of combing, grooming and tick picking. The ticks in this installation were found on myself and my dog.
