- About my artwork
- In its varied modes, my artwork exposes the division between the human subject and his or her world. This is often accomplished through use of anthropomorphization. I am attempting to highlight ways in which our relationship with nature, science and technology has devolved by showcasing representations in which individuality, humanness and “the natural” appears as foreign, distant, and/or manipulable. I am also working to show that a distinction between the natural and science/technology can be difficult to pin down, which suggests a breakdown in the traditional polarized conception of these two realms: questions arise as to whether a digitally created landscape is as valid as a natural one, or whether the cloned life is still alive, whether it is considered a copy, just a variation or indelibly unique.
Through my most recent artworks, I attempt to speak to a contemporary relationship with nature based on the manipulation of nature through technology, anticipating the strain that humankind is building as it exerts its dominance on all material and virtual forms.
- The centre of the artworld is
- nowhere and everywhere
