I focus on the myth of human dominance over nature, our journey from sustainable land practices to the environment under capitalism, and how this has affected our quality of life both physically and mentally. It is stunning how humans have predicted our self-inflicted demise through science fiction while ignoring the real warning signs of actual science. We believe that our technology (which created the mess) will fix the mess; this delusion inevitably leads to the end of civilization in every apocalyptic story. My work explores doomsday imagery found in reality and fantasy with beautiful, terrifying depictions of our current environment and possible future.
Through sculpture and photography, I dramatically express the breakdown of what consumer capitalism is doing to the environment in a way that explores hopelessness, wonder, terror, perversion, and the sublime. Corporate pollution has seeped into every level of the biosphere: the atmosphere, the global water cycle and the metabolisms of every organism. Just like an alien species come to dominate our planet, we have released these toxic forever-substances into our world, and they have consumed it. My artistic journey has led me through the Earth to the furthest reaches of capitalism. From remote landscapes to deep inside the body, I find the infection of greed has poisoned everything. Truly we are a species to behold for we have the power to create or destroy worlds.
