ARCADIA
My work offers glimpses at interspecies relationships, from wonder to
suspicion to servitude, and in these photographs I explore boundaries that are
blurred when we come too close, the quality of interactions in unspoken,
instinctual languages; meetings with no words. In the case of the white tailed
deer, we find a population that humans control through violence in certain
areas, while in other places (such as parks) we protect and study them and go
to lengths to spy on their behavior in “the wild”. The pursuit of deer into unknown spaces, dark
forests, is an archetype from ancient Greece to Beowulf to Bambi. And yet, when
deer encroach on our suburban and urban habitats, we grow uneasy. New York
City, for example, has recently created a “task force” to manage rising deer
populations in Staten Island and the Bronx.
