The Keeling (2021) is an amalgamation of aloe corpses, fictional prosthetics, speculative organisms, and contemporary fossils, among other things. This exhibition offers a speculative look at a different interspecies conversation in which destructive practices have created new interdependence between the organic and inorganic worlds.The works look into a speculative future in which climate change mitigation has failed and new interspecies relationships have been forced into existence. In this space, plants and landscapes have mutated to be harsher, drier, sharper, and alien. Mutual hostility reigns in a space that rejects life in all of its forms and a population reliant on manufactured crutches is hopelessly maimed. When biomimicry is reflected back into a decrepit environment that is incapable of supporting itself, a new transaction has occurred that signifies a temporary fix rather than a solution. The works offer a glimpse of the fossils and artifacts we may leave in our wake as a ruinous society. The precarity of life in this speculative future will be a fragile balance, and we are all bound to fall, decompose, and keel over.
