In the fall of 2012, my proposal to photograph the artifacts in the Greek and Roman galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art was welcomed. Over the next eight months, I made images of their vast collection of antique sculptures and relics, concentrating on the fragmentation of the human body. Working with a portable camera obscura, I could move within the constraints of the Met’s galleries to produce intimate, smaller scale photographs. As with my larger works, every piece is unique.
