drifting across, walking through words is a series of 13 digital c-prints, 14 x 25 inches, made in 2010. In this project, I’m considering language as a construction of limits, and how our words manifest in the physical world. To be able to communicate, we must define what things are and what they are not. By building walls, fences, windows and doors, we organize our surroundings. But as many concepts in our world defy the words we use to describe them, nature obeys language neither as words nor architecture. Weeds spread through a fence, unwanted animals find their way into a garden. Even domesticated animals escape and wander, and cultivated plants constantly strive to outgrow their allotted space, grow wild. I'm looking at things we can’t control, as they effortlessly cross our boundaries.

I've been thinking about the relationship between manmade limits and the things they attempt to include or exclude: place or life, human, animal and plant. I regard the distinction between nature and culture as fundamentally artificial, and my photographs show examples of how these areas constantly intertwine and flow into each other. Buildings and fences in nature, plants in cities, transparent limits such as windows and the fleeting solidness of walls. People are present only as reflections.
