 Constructing the Nude in Situ
 
For several decades I have spent in depth time in remote locations around the world documenting and creating artworks about the wild, the free, the misunderstood. In what the anthropologists are now called the Anthropocene Age, the period during which human activity is the dominant influence on climate and the environment, we can now add human wildness to the list of endangered species.
My new body of work explores this human wildness in one of the last strongholds where humans of all ages, colors and sexual orientations are free to roam the beach naked; the human body in natural form. The study of these human forms is contrasted to a dog’s freedom to roam with the pollution of the seashore and oceans with plastic garbage. As with much of my previous work documenting wild animals whose habitat and existence were at risk, this current work turns that lens towards my own species with a critical eye on the fact that we are the ones responsible for devastating our own habitats and endangering our own wild nature.
