My work wrestles with the anxiety that many of us feel living in the Anthropocene. I am interested in how our myopic perception of time and our addiction to apocalyptic narratives can cripple our imaginations and distort ideas about the future. I read history and mine archives for visual evidence of slow changes that we have failed to perceive because they are stretched over multiple generations. My paintings juxtapose moments across these time spans, revealing cycles of transformation in which humans have been agents of both destruction and restoration.

I am in the early stages of a 10-year project that began in 2020 and will conclude in 2030. Every four months throughout this period I complete a multi-panel painting inspired by images of long-term change.
