The focus of my current work is sustainability and entwined environmental systems. My artistic practice strives to explore and reveal the inevitable imbalanced relationship between humans and the planet. I research and explore both the history of human exceptionalism as well as the human condition as it relates to our consciousness and attitude towards nature. As evidenced by overpopulation, our development and use of technology, cultural myths and beliefs systems as tools exploit and dominate our environment. I see evolution of humanity as being diametrically opposed to the equilibrium of the planet as a living organism.
