Photograph: Jessie IMAM, Jessie Imam, Untitled #4 (fox bones - pattern), 2012
This work forms a pair with Untitled #3 (fox bones – ordered) / This work draws on ideas of death and the traces of a body that death leaves behind / The work aims to confront the viewer with the concept of death, but it is not morbid or macabre in its consideration of it / Instead of fear the work presents a quiet and beautiful image that aims to portray a feeling of acceptance in the inevitable destruction of one's body / In this work the bones of a deceased fox were meticulously cleaned, bleached and layed out for photographing / No digital manipulation was used to arrange the bones / The same bones from the same fox were rearranged and used for the other work in this series.This work was completed in 2012 as part of the artist's residency in 2011 at Birrarung, Laughing Waters (Laughing Waters Artist in Residence program - LWAIR) managed by Nillumbik Shire Council / Works produced there take inspiration from the natural landscape and the creatures living within that particular environment.Print - A digital photograph printed on hahnemuhle photo rag paper / edition 2 of 8 + 2 artist prints / Individual fox bones placed/layed out on a white background and arranged in an outward circular pattern.
