The idea for this body of work is generated, in broad terms,
from my
reactions to the human-constructed and social environments in
which we live. I chose
to portray these issues with sculptures that contain ants for
the opportunity
to work with a living group from which I could draw parallels
to human society.
Specifically, a few pieces express the sentiment of being crushed
by space
physically and emotionally. While others comment on the ossified
attitudes
towards female and male social roles.
I also see these objects as small bridges between urbanism and
nature,
between one creature and another.
