FLORESCENCE (2004-2008)
Florescence (Flowers for Iraq) is a series of installation pieces that examine images from the war in Iraq available on disaster-porn internet sites. In these works, I have attempted to rescue the horrific images from their de-personalized context and imbue them with a sense of beauty and intricate handwork. Creating them out of thousands of small, colorful pieces of paper, I intend them as memorials to the brutal realities of the horrors of war.
