These are portraits of souls in doubt. We live in a perpetual state of mediation between affirming or denying our most basic desires. We wake to the tension between wanting to embrace life or just disappear, to rise up to meet the day or sink down to rest forever.
These images imbue commonplace objects with the heart's deepest longings and fears. Both embraced and isolated by elements of the natural world, the figures become metaphors for our conflicted vision of life. From birth cauls to death shrouds we are caught between worlds, sometimes only momentarily, sometimes more permanently. Some emerge from this transitional space, others do not.
