My large-scale installations are concerned with technology's impact on the survival of our species, along with all other interdependent species, as we stumble into the future. Issues I address include speculative possibilities for planetary survival, surveillance, gender, the experience of nature in this digital age, and natural disasters/climate change. To do this, I use diverse media such as sculpture, mixed-media, video, painting, 3D-prints, digital imagery, installation, casting, and drawing. My series share an investigation into the relationships between nature, contemporary culture, and technology, along with their effects on our lives. These connections provide the conceptual resource for multiple, simultaneous series that, though stylistically different, are aligned through their internal thought processes. All of these series come from my sense that at this precise moment, we are at the tipping point of a world gone wrong.
