Artist Statement

My work has often dealt with the dystopian possibilities of climate change. Given the extreme rains in California this year, I  pose the question in this piece for Pangea Seed, what if? What if we lost entire cities to floods? Would we adapt to continue to inhabit these spaces? 

I present an abundant still life of exotic foods—like those from Dutch still life paintings—contrasted with an Aquarium-like view of a lost, underwater city. If a city was lost to flooding, who would be in a position to adapt? Those who can afford the impossible. 

The post-disaster landscape is at the crux of beauty and horror. I'm interested in how quickly we can become complacent with things that were once considered unimaginable. A "new normal. As a species we flatten experience in order to accept it, but how and to what end?
