Museum Item #15773 Book
Museum Item #15773 is a risographed book that examines the permanence of some of my artistic failures through humor, specimen logic, and a futuristic context. I try to come to terms with the consequences of material permanence through a narrative that takes place 500 years in the future where archeologists are conducting digs through landfills…
Faux Rock Collection
The Faux Rock Collection is a mass producible geological collection that can act as an aesthetic substitute in a dystopian future where there is nothing left to extract.

Extraction Print Series
Humans are an eroding force. We physically shape the Earth to retrieve precious remnants held deep within our planet’s crust. Within my prints, I have been separating landscapes into segments based off of geological diagrams…
Acadia Artificial Forest Installation
I have been interested in exploring my personal relationship to nature though the creation of a 6’ x 6’ artificial forest using recycled materials. This artificial forest serves two purposes. First, is it possible to recreate the calming, isolating, and immersive headspace I feel while being out in the woods? And second, what would an artificial forest created hundreds of years in the future after all the trees were cut down look like…

Futuristic Landscape Propositions
The year is 2213. Earth is no longer habitable due to the long lasting effects of climate change. Humans have always been an eroding force, physically shaping the landscape to retrieve precious remnants held deep within the planets crust. This eroding tendency is still present as humans are in search of a new home, one that blurs and transplants traditional Earth landscapes with alien digital worlds.
