In Animus I use dark humor to investigate the uneasy intimacy of the modern relationship between human bodies and nature. The work investigates the erotics of power, based on a queer reading of the Greek myths portrayed in Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Materials and methods include: latex; camel hair; burned wood; ivy; synthetic hair; rendered animal fat; birdseed; edible sculpture; trail camera surveillance photography; footage from livestream cameras in animal sanctuaries; staged studio photographs; and short stories laser-etched into lucite.
