Abstract
My current body of work captures and displays a humanity manipulated geological history. I use and rework the discarded to build records of time, memory, and progress seen from the perspective of an uncertain future. By combining organic and synthetic materials I create moments fabricated in a modern dystopia. We enter the Anthropocene, the age of humans. Earth is ever-changing and, for the first time, one species is capable of leaving a worldwide impact.
