Climate/Cataclysm (2014/2015, in progress)
I've been focusing lately on how we perceive the landscape as material. This series is an ode to my birthplace of West Virginia and the history and results of its land-use, as well as an imagining of a toxic apocalypse through ecological disasters. I've been using collage for its resemblance to habitat fragmentation, particularly from the backgrounds and negative spaces in comic books. These peripheral images serve as source material for interpreting the reshaping of nature.
