Our Very Lives (2003-04): A suite of large scale digital prints exploring ideas of aging and the mother/daughter relationship. Using images of old wallpaper, ancient artifacts from the Cucuteni period (5000-3500 BC) and paint-by-number drawings with the talisman of the bee priestess, these works draw upon notions of memory, time and the ancient past to pay homage to a female lineage that harkens back to the beginning of time.
Nirvanas: the archaic past found on distant galaxies will only reach us in the future. We can draw upon this past to create a future in which war is no longer and women experience freedom and autonomy. The Nirvana pieces imagine such a world and at the same time recognize how this world is inscribed and written upon us.
