Whitney Cole - Artist (Emma Kisiel)

Although sometimes it sucks when you realize someone has already done something you've thought of shooting (and you thought it was original), I am really pleased to see these images from Emma Kisiel. Her series, At Rest, photographs Kisiel's attempts at providing a "proper" burial for animals who have been struck on the highway. For me, Kisiel has combined my love of humans and nature, rituals, and the cycles of life into a very simple and almost precious series. The way she has treated the bodies in the photographs by memorializing them balances out the morbid nature of some of the exposed insides of the poor little critters.
