Fertile World

Here are (a recap for those who have followed this blog for a while) some of my favourite conceptually motivated university projects. I blogged about most of these projects when they were in the early working stages and if you would like to see those early experiments please feel free to look back through the posts here.

Fertile World

The series focuses on female vulnerability in the months of pregnancy. 

Helen’s pregnant self is mirrored in the backdrop of the cornfield, which is ripe and nearing fruition in its last weeks before harvesting.  This abundant and happy image actually hides a darker side. 

Helen's pregnancy has been complicated. The stormy sky alludes to the stormy ride

that has been, and continues to be, her pregnancy; an ominous threat with an unpredictable outcome.
