APOCALYPTIC SERIES
Through her latest body of work, entitled "Apocalyptic" (from the Greek apokalypsis, meaning revelation or disclosure), Bouky presents a series of close up shots of trees photographed in Arizona, Greece and France. In what she describes as a personal dialogue with the "rooted children of another species", Bouky strives to capture what nature really is - a perfect reflection for who we are and the ultimate source for emotional, spiritual, and historical revelation.

Bouky seeks a compassionate, planetary identity based on interconnection. In this, she is aligned with contemporary scholars and students of ecoliteracy, quantum physics and systems theories, who understand that life is a conscious, interconnected web of intelligence. Bouky invites us to partake in the color, surface and form of her intimate compositions; activating a resonant response to the organic world. Her re-enchantment of this relationship makes a timeless and enduring gift to the spirit of aesthetic consciousness.

ATTACHMENTS SERIES
The Attachments Series is the artistic culmination of an epiphany that Bouky experienced in 2007; one that re-set the trajectory of her photographic practice. "On a January day, walking through birch woods in Northern Minnesota, I became intensely aware of the sculptural and architectural aspects of the birch. I felt compelled to study the bark closely and in it, I found the complexity of life," says the artist. Bouky entered a resonant dialogue with these surfaces and shooting close, discovered something of a Rorschach in each frame. Through this series of sublime organic abstractions, Bouky reveals the essential beauty of bark, lichens and light, signifying her profound re-attachment to the natural world.
