Her serie ‘Domestic Totems’, starts with the discarded object. As selected by a raven or rag picker, she collects those new gems and brings them to life in the (safe) domain of the studio. Stripped even more from any context apart from the photographic set and its art historical connotation to the still life, this is where the game and art of Bricolage is being played, new classifications built and the perception of objects stretched.
