Colleen Plumb

- I found Colleen Plumb's work on Brian Ulrich's blog the other day and fell in love with her series Animals Are Outside Today. Im not usually fond of pictures of animals(except of course for Alessandra Sanguinetti's On The Sixth Day) but this work is a true gem. She just recently was one of the winners of the Hey, Hot Shot! contest, which gives me all the more reason to make it to Jen Bekman Gallery tomorrow to see the show before it closes. See more of her work here. From her statement,

"My photographs examine the persistent and increasing disconnection that exists between humans and the natural world. My work explores simulation, consumption, destruction, and reconstruction. It addresses the essence of our connection, as well as our fragmentation from the natural. The series looks at points of intersection with wild in the human-made world—our coexistence—and explores notions of endurance and the reality of loss."
