Domesticated
For her Domesticated series Stein uses personal stories and local newspaper accounts to create staged tableau photographs of human and animal interaction in Matamoras, Pennsylvania. The work "reveals the unresolved conflict between our yearning for kinship with nature’s mysteries and our desire to bring everything that surrounds us under rational control." A monograph of Domesticated was published by Photolucida in 2008. That same year Martin Parr awarded Domesticated the Best Book award at the 2008 New York Photo Festival.

Famous quotes containing the word domesticated:
“Those who marry God can become domesticated too—it’s just as hum-drum a marriage as all the others. The word “Love” means a formal touch of the lips as in the ceremony of the Mass, and “Ave Maria” like “dearest” is a phrase to open a letter.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
“At its best our age is an age of searchers and discoverers, and at its worst, an age that has domesticated despair and learned to live with it happily.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“His principles are like the bristles of a domesticated pig, they don’t pierce through the pork.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
