For the Spirit of Place exhibition I wanted to evoke the viewer to make up their own story about the work they saw. With Rosebud and Her Secrets the viewer gets a small glimpse of what she is trying to hide under her pillows, a journal, skeleton keys and photos. I like the Victorian idea of taxidermy and the act of collecting and preserving just about everything. The Flower and Insect collages are perfect examples of this idea.
My creatures come out of the secret fantasy world that exists in my head. Through the creation process they come to life in our reality. They are a mash up of novels I have read, movies I have seen and the secret world that I live in when I am alone.
I don't expect people to understand or get it, it's kind of a personal story and If I can cause some sort of reaction with the viewer, positive or negative, I believe I have succeeded. To see more imagery please visit my Flickr, http://www.flickr.com/photos/feltbunny313/
