A Familiar Panting

Digital Archival Pigment Prints

2017-18

A Familiar Panting acts as a palimpsest of contortions in photographic portraits and landscapes as markings of the routine and the ritual. The pieces navigate through fetishistic, mundane arrangements. They are playful actions in color, form, and constructed sculptural and domestic compositions of sugar, palms, plastic wrap, and breath play, reveling in performance and references to childhood. Incorporating the iconic landscape of Los Angeles as well as indoor domestic spaces, these are visualizations and conceptions of contemporary relationships between consumption and pleasure while investigating the manifestations of mundane objects in fetish culture.
