Vavliov Portraits (2018)
Vavilov Portraits is a series of photographic and text portraits of female scientists working at the N.I. Vavilov Institute for Plant Industry in Saint Petersburg, Russia. I asked each woman to speak about the connection between their work and climate change. Considered the world’s first seed bank, the Institute was established in 1921 with Nikolai Vavilov as its head. Vavilov died in prison in 1943 after Stalin had him arrested for his ideas about plant biology.
Immigrant Landscapes (2012)
Collaboration with Patterson Clark. This is a small suite of prints from Uncultivated printed on papers made from non-native plants appearing in the photographs.
Marseille/Baltimore (2005)
Marseille/Baltimore is a collection of video/audio portraits of people from these two port cities, centered on each person’s unique connection to a single technological object they use on a daily basis and photographs of the chosen object in its setting within their home.
Reel (2003)
Reel shows a profile view of a film in fast motion while the audio is in real time. As the film becomes progressively smaller on the reel, the light behind the projector de-materializes and optically transforms the reel, producing a zen-like meditation on the materiality of film and its obsolescence as a representational technology.
