The Metropolitan Museum of Art
2012–2013
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.
