Following my surgery in 2004 for cervical cancer, I began to photograph, film and perform in hospitals, morgues, medical museums and my doctors' offices. 

I first saw the floral vending machine on the morning of my surgery. As I took the elevator up to the second floor of the hospital, the negative spaces, florescent lights, and tacky, impersonal bouquets of flowers resonated with me as I entered in to the operating room.  Sale was the first photograph taken for the Repository series.
