Massacre

2010

Intimate photographs of the landscape of road kill. (2’x3’)

Vertical landscapes photographed as if submerged by the road, these sets of images capture the pathos of an everyday animal mishap. Squashed by tires on an ordinary road, these peeper frogs have little left but a slimy glimmer of their past forms.  Seeping now into the crevices of the road the viewer gets pulled into their textured perspective. Beyond their remains the horizon stretches out dramatically and two yellow lines whiz by comically—a sudden reminder of inconsequential bumps.
