Using nineteenth-century photography techniques, and modern chemicals, Faune evokes the beauty of nature and a bygone time.
All her photographs are original prints, which she hand tones and colors to reflect the connections and coexistence of different places
and things in her life. She draws inspiration from nature and architecture as well as 19th c. pictorial styles and specimen display.
Faune’s mixed media photographic collages are designed to be viewed at different distances. From afar they may appear to be: stained
glass windows, sashes of color and geometric forms, mosaics, dichotomies of tension, and a sequential story all-at-once. As one approaches,
a different work appears: Images set like jewels. Stories reveal themselves from the interplay between images, meeting for the first time.
The vertical and horizontal strips of images live like little films or plays.
Faune lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Faune has a BFA from San Francisco Art Institute and a MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts,
Rutgers University. She has a collection of her photography on display at the San Francisco Art Institute Library and has been profiled in
publications from House Beautiful to a recent mention on AM New York.
