title: Paper Cut Illustrations

description:

Through the use of physical computing, laser-cut paper, and interactive video installations, my artwork seeks to challenge the way land use, natural resources, and the energy grid are envisioned.

In this series of laser-cut paper, the focus is on the collapse of the infrastructure that supports our current cultural phylogenesis. It is a paleontological observation from the future, where our plastic detritus has become fossilized, where the technology we glorify has become primeval and a sequestered Nature is restored. It is of a time in the Post-Anthropocene period.

format: stained paper, laser cut and mounted in glass, poplar
