Bill Weedmark: "Repose" and "Porcupine"

"I chose these works because they fit the theme of mortality and viscerality that seemed to be building for the smaller room. I liked how they played on early 20th century modern photography but became something else when you realized that they dealt with road-kill". . . Andy Fabo
