Sabrina Joy Winogrond  Half Canadian, half American, Sabrina was born in the Philippines, moved to Thailand, traveled throughout the South Pacific, and eventually ended up in the United States. Her work explores how nature and myth translate into the post-modernist world. “I want my art to be sensitive, universal, and useful. Because of my migratory upbringing, I’ve learned what is stationary and what isn't. I can identify with both the transience and permanence of natural forms.” With no preconceived ideas about what she will shoot, Sabrina relies on what nature will give her. The Great Cuddle Project The photographs in The Great Cuddle Project were shot in Mosfellsbær, Iceland. They were recorded as a photographic diary to show the dialog between man and nature, and the difficulty in determining where one stops and the other begins. Every picture contains an artificial object married to a natural environment. All images were shot as found. The project also displays her interest in human history and its consequent natural impact. Progress and decay are implicit in each photo. Shapes Inspired by natural history exhibits, the Shapes series recontextualizes natural forms in unnatural surroundings. Organic forms are placed against stark backgrounds, mimicking a scientific investigation into the architecture of nature. The Shapes series tries to focus attention on otherwise neglected natural objects. Faces In the Faces series, Sabrina whimsically captures faces emerging from natural forms. The series evokes a sensitivity to and symbiosis with nature. In the same way Rodin sought to liberate bodies from stone by chipping and carving, the series seeks to recognize and document them.  Viewers are encouraged to start their own process of recognition. Munnur In the Munnur (“mouth” in Icelandic) series, Sabrina places a transparent mask on a television screen and shoots stills of an Italian horror film. The series illustrates the death of imagination and the decay of original thought due to a great flood of screens. The mask symbolizes humanity/individualism and the background images represent various stages of post-modern micro evolution.  This series inspired the TV Shot by Phone series.
