Artist Statement:
 
Squeeze is one of a series of five works, originally printed at 40 x 60 inches. Each work pairs an image taken in Southern Alberta of spherical formations called concretions, with scanned images of classical Rodin sculptures. The collaged final image optically moves from flat, two-dimensional representation, to a three-dimensional sense of volume, complicating a sense of what is body and what is space. The series elicits a doubling of image, material, and meaning that considers the relationship between sculpture and the photographic image.​
