adult male Phyllocrania paradoxa (ghost mantis) frozen on the surface of ice Here sub-adult mantises are placed into purposefully plastic and unnatural-looking environments. Trapped in these environments the mantises begin to search for a place within it which they can disguise themselves as a leaf, a twig, grass, or flower. They become restless as they explore and then become lost in the artificial space. Mimicry is a loss of identity, a diminution of the distinction between other and self. By forcing them into environments in which their mimicry is impossible their sense of self becomes acute. They become an individual and not just an insect automaton. They have left their natural world for another. When the mantises trapped in this too distinct definition of self finally mature to adulthood, they grow their wings. This gift flight allows them to seek the natural landscape in their world held aloft in a kind of Laputa. digital photograph giclee printed on a thick platine paper for a wide gamut of colors and deep blacks available in here at 30x20 in an edition of 5 available on request at 36x24 in an edition of 5 available on request at 60x40 in an edition of 3 Each print comes signed on verso and with a certificate of authenticity.

OEAA 2019 Best New Media Artist OEAA 2018 Best Group Show - Museum of Alternative History, Kaneko Omaha Nebraska --- Reagan Davis Pufall was shaped by his childhood growing up in North Dakota. Its long cold winters coupled with short and stormy summers instilled in him a permanent sense of restlessness and the drama of nature. Winter days trapped indoors by bitter cold led him to adopt a lifelong habit of reading. He reads broadly, and in his youth particularly enjoyed exploring the worlds presented in classic fiction, fantasy, science fiction, and the ancient mythology of many cultures. Once winter lifted the warming spring weather would lead him outdoors to explore the open countryside around him; away from the worlds contained in books and into the wide open world of the northern plains. Later, his family moved south to Nebraska, which has a more moderate four seasons climate. Ironically, this shift inverted his calendar; now it was the bright and bracing – but not bitterly cold – days of winter that lured him out into the natural world of the prairies. In high school he was introduced to photography by a teacher who encouraged both his still life and landscape work. At first his work focused primarily on landscapes, and he loved the hiking and camping that were required to capture those images. However, he eventually found that ground had already been well explored and captured by the photographers and painters who had come before him. During and after the years he spent at the San Francisco Art Institute, he returned to the studio and began creating his own landscapes, inspired to bring into tangible existence the worlds he had encountered in the real and fictional stories of his youthful reading. Currently he lives in Omaha Nebraska where he teaches Art and Design.
