Film Stills

FILM STILLS STATEMENT This work is about how we see ourselves, and humanity as a whole in the context of films. I utilized movie scenes for numerous reasons, but primarily because we as a society are influenced by what we see in mass media, and also because it is accessible. Most of the images are created by photographing myself with my dogs from specific movie scenes that I intentionally chose. I recreated scenes that would portray the dog as omnipotent, innocent and or virtuous. By using the dog in the series, I am also looking at our relationship to nature and how we can learn from it.
