Recent Work

These images are a selection of new artworks begun in 2018-2019. Entitled The Future is Broken, this work overlays elements of notable climate change data onto current photographs of American landscapes vulnerable to or already shifting from human cuased climate change. Collectively, the work embodies my personal anxiety as a seemingly helpless bystander stuck watching a denialist political reality let the earth slip away. Utilizing laser etching and lightwriting techniques, the work attemps to bridge this reality with a my own deep seated sense of loss. The image titles are as follows:
