On the Use of a Syrinx (video still)2011
Jeff Whetstone's work deals with the relationship between humans, particularly men, and nature. On The Use of a Syrinx, which frames an early morning turkey hunt as a narrative about seduction and domination, is influenced by his backgrounds in both zoology and documentary photography. Whetstone was a Guggenheim fellow in 2007 and is a faculty member at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. More about his work can be found here.
