“I create contemporary artifacts illustrating the effects of our actions on our fragile ecosystems.”
My work tells the story of the impact of civilization on our environment.

Inspired by specimens and artifacts in museums of natural history and anthropology, I imagine what we would leave behind, what would be found after we are gone, and what that would tell about us.
