"My work is inspired by my exploration of the intricacies and complexities that exist within the relationship between our species and the rest of the natural world. My most recent body of work "Dominance and Affection" deals specifically with the ways in which we interact with our pets. It seems as though, today, the most intimate connection we have with nature is with those animals we have singled out and chosen to keep as companions. The intense love and affection we feel towards these creatures does not erase the fact that the success of the relationship lies in our complete domination over all aspects of their existence."
