Working with some of the most fundamental and ubiquitous discarded materials such as plastic and Styrofoam, I fabricate representational sculptural models that simulate landscapes and imaginary worlds and structures. These are post-anthropocentric non-living realties devoid of life and consisting of mostly non-biodegradable materials. The specific materials are often referred to as “disposable” but in fact they are never truly gone and will outlast all of us.

These stark and foreboding images become a meditation on our personal relationship with our own culture and the natural world. Consequently, my process is slow and deliberate acting as a catharsis to help relieve my anxiety about this distant but possible non-biological future. I am well aware that my own participation in a wasteful society produces an endless stream of detritus that could ultimately lead to our collective demise.

This is an ongoing series still in its earliest stages. Each photograph has taken several months and up to a year or more to build, light, photograph and edit. More work will be added over the coming months and years.
