years long- shoulders, like bird wings<br />
purged of brown <br />
fat, grey matter <br />
claiming cells<br />
<br />
language becomes you<br />
boy, raging against me<br />
neurons firing in the dance<br />
of differentiation, you- splitting<br />
from the mother self<br />
<br />
Elias- child of my body, offspring<br />
of loneliness <br />
oxytocin <br />
your stem cells still swimming in my veinsTinyDancerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07812286649559162013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229136560606770992.post-69311329682407709322011-03-20T19:06:00.000-07:002011-03-20T19:06:17.917-07:00Series One<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie71c1Tfpb_slSr3rXNP3iGKzBA1bM6BfOuJNzARuS_Dtmu4X_Hx5loI1-9MJuXopuIkqN38fTYByBvTR2G9ixBw1yw_uRMxvGq2ILONQ622zYQpt0TMImINhtinZPp3kgnuSpil7dlHA/s1600/babycart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEie71c1Tfpb_slSr3rXNP3iGKzBA1bM6BfOuJNzARuS_Dtmu4X_Hx5loI1-9MJuXopuIkqN38fTYByBvTR2G9ixBw1yw_uRMxvGq2ILONQ622zYQpt0TMImINhtinZPp3kgnuSpil7dlHA/s400/babycart.jpg" width="265" /></a></div><br />

Through<br />
images and text this works seeks to examine the ways in which systems<br />
<div class="im">of beliefs intersect with health care policy, and practice in human<br />
birth. The work explores the spaces in which American /New England <br />
families choose to give birth, including hospitals, birth centers, houses </div>and apartments.<br />
<br />
Seeking to direct viewer attention to the various ways<br />
that the human experience manifests in birth, the work includes images<br />
<div class="im">of actual birth, labor, interactions with health care professionals,<br />
and images of families interacting with newborns in the spaces in</div>which birth took place.<br />
<br />
The documentation of this life event invites discussion about the<br />
intersection of the personal and political nature of the body, birth, and medical practice. <br />
<br />
This project functions as both a creative body of images interpreting the complex world<br />
of birth, but also serves a a visual archive of one of the most universal experiences of<br />
twenty-first century New England life. This project connects to a branch of anthropology<br />
called 'visual anthropology' defined as: "<span class="owner " type="INSERT"> ...is both the practice of anthropology through a visual</span><br />
<span class="owner " type="INSERT"> medium and the study of visual phenomena in culture and society." (Encyclopedia Britannica)</span><br />
