Mining the University of New Mexico Art Museum’s extensive drawing and print collection, I appropriated images of work by Corot, Daubigny, and Edward Skeats to create five new video pieces. Using green screen techniques, characters appear on the screen to erase, alter and reveal these iconic artworks. My vision relates the interdependence of plants, animals and humans with the interrelationships of art forms through contemporary media. Informed by early film history, these works are captivating scenarios that allude to childhood fables and folklore.
