Selected Works
Explorers
Blurring the lines between between subjective and objective, between truth and illusion: the work inhabits a median zone that lies between.
The work explores ways of connecting our human desire to understand and imagine what lies outside our immediate perception.
By tapping into the aesthetics of nostalgia and connecting that to what appears to be a historical record, our subjective memory imagines worlds outside our own. Worlds that have long disappeared and worlds that are yet to be fully formed.
