Artist’s Statement

My work is about usability, field research, and symbolism.

To prepare, empower, and direct.
Born in a house on fire.

They are form, feeling, and attention.

Hopeful-post-corona design futures with system-scale problems and subjective user experiences, the art is looking beyond the settlement.

Not self-reliant driven as romantic possibilities to enforce chauvinism, but sanguine, communal, feral, narratives. A coalition of practices between

“ rewilding “ city-states without trying to put all the technological genies back into the bottle. With or without the VR glasses.

Next to a river, beneath a mountain. My works are tools.

It is the

forest smelling

rural observing

mountain-dwelling

world building

mind-bending

storytelling.

IPCC panels + associative modeling + 230 million years of animal biochemistry = human identity that prioritizes mobility and migrations as the unexceptional state. Let’s do it as our mothers did it.

My tools are guiding, speculating, and questioning aspects of daily life.

The rural is where both my work and the future, are happening. Along with the mountains, the sea, the garden, Standing Rock Reservation, the 4th generation nuclear reactors, and metaverse cloud platform megastructures.
