A thought: Why live with my artwork? I wish a viewer might consider them as an idea to be lived with, instead of just an image. Then it has some benefits, it empowers us through contact.:

Living with my art daily could create a positive reminder to remain vigilant of Climate Change.
It could: Prevent indifference from arising.
It could: Extinguish the one-sided view of nature that sees only the beauty, but ignores the human-caused collapse.
It could: Cultivate the spirit of hope and ingenuity that is needed, and which we all have inside of us.
It could: Strengthen the determination and energy to honor nature and become nature’s beauty.
Thus, through continuous contact to a slow but meaningful idea, our consciousness and actions will change. This is the sublimation of my art. So if it resonates with you, I invite you to live with it, and cultivate your inner eco-warrior spirit!

About this series:

This group of prints are a part of my ‘Anthropocene Landscape Series’. Printmaking challenges me to instill precision and clarity onto the most fleeting, inexpressible aspect of my landscapes: changes in atmosphere, climate, and violence to the land. The inconsistencies I cause to the plate: scratches, slips, imperfections, give life to the landscape. My faults in the process of manipulating the ink, and the unique surfaces of each piece of paper breathe a bit of chaos, dust, and air into the land.

Representing human encounters with a damaged post-industrial landscape, this body of work draws from concrete realities about our present day earth. Murray Bookchin writes about a split that happened between the Human and Nature, via the transition from Nomadic Life, into Societal Life. Could our environmentally destructive legacy of Pollution, Nature-domination, Environmental-Colonialism, and Neo-Liberalism have been avoidable? How might a person in this alternate timeline survive, and relate to the land? I imagine this parallel story, where engineering, and surviving the harsh elements, is in the hands of a wandering nomad. Although the human figure isn’t present, we see life scenarios through inhabited spaces, and simplistic technologies to interact with the elements. Some mechanisms generate wind-power, hydro-power, or solar, and some are shelters with a duel function of collecting rainwater for plants and drinking. In the structures’ precariousness, and sometimes futility, they reflect on the fragile relationship between humanity and nature.
