Baltic Amber

This series of mixed media on paper, photography and digital collage was inspired by Irish Boglands, the beings that live there, the history it preserves, and my own connection to the land. I have been collaging and making drawings from photos I took of bogs and historical objects preserved by bogs. The objects that inspired these works include bog bodies, extinct giant Irish deer skeletons, and amber jewelry in the collection of the National Museum. Each object is symbolic; The bog bodies were murdered in the name of nationalism. The giant deer's antlers outgrew him and caused the extinction of his species. And the amber beads, like miniature bogs themselves, can preserve history.
