Not interested in distant foreign lands or exotic plant species, she photographs the parks and gardens in the suburbs of her own home town, Washington. In this formalised nature she zooms in on a flower, a leaf or a blade of grass. Because of the minimal depth of field in her photos, often only a small detail of the artificial nature is divulged. But the colourful, out of focus background forces itself on the viewer and becomes as important as the twig in the foreground. At the same time, there is something ominous about the vaguely rendered surroundings.
