    My latest series titled Uncanny Territory are large scale photographs that are fictional landscapes, but could be anyplace, Earth. I construct small ice objects using various found materials such as debris, pieces of maps, discarded paint and oil. As these objects are brought back to room temperature I photograph their melting surfaces as they change from solid to liquid to evaporated gas, mimicking a geological cycle of freeze and thaw

    The Disaster Archive is a series comprised of appropriated images curated from a growing archive on the Internet of floods, tornadoes, iceberg melts, hurricanes, sinkholes, accidents and dust storms. These highly aestheticized photographic objects intend to draw an emotional response from the viewer to question the role of catastrophic events and whether disasters are cause and effect of technological progress.
