Graft
This suite of prints was created in response to a friend's lack of familiarity with her new prosthetic limbs.
Enlarged to human scale, the fragmented and restructured image of an insect known as a walking stick becomes an imposing metaphor for the tenuous balance between form and function. The puzzle-piece composition of angular details creates, yet contradicts, the curvature of each structure. Motion is implied. Yet, the function of each form remains questionable in nature.
