Clay Feet is a photography collection that combines still lifes and performative, intimate scenes to explore and disrupt tropes of the destructive, creative feminine through two lenses: the personal and the art historical. This is a small sample of images from the collection. To request more information or images, email: summerpele@gmail.com
As a child I went on archaeological digs with my father. Tiny shards and arrowheads revealed stories that enriched the land around us. Much of my artwork imagines phenomena both seen and unseen.
What is the architecture, the symbolism of the vessel? It is a place of potential, never finalized, always filling and emptying, or going from one place to another.

Pseudologia is a photography book that examines the metaphysics of objects, probing the unseen and in-between spaces of daily life. The photographs are experiments highlighting unexpected relationships, playing in a zone of slippage, of excavation.
Pseudologia refers to the rare phenomena pseudologia fantastica, also known as mythomania, which is a kind of pathological lying. The title pokes fun at the artist, who lives part of the time in an alternate reality, where she “listens” to objects, mines shapes, constructing and deconstructing images in order to make them give up their secrets.
