This body of work is inspired by cultural and scientific
observations, as we careen toward a future that is potentially breathtaking
and/or heartbreaking.
This blend of awe and trepidation is conveyed through the balm and
subterfuge of humor. Metaphoric surrogate objects, such as toys
and exuberant balloons holding their breath, become émigrés
in the cosmos, creating absurd, deadpan juxtapositions, while alluding
to the Earths climate emergency, the survival of species and
habitats, and the hunt for home.
