I like to imagine other worlds. That may have been, that could be, that may have to happen. So many possibilities branch out before humanity, and each branch seems to end in catastrophe. What does the future look like? Is there an after us? To probe these questions I examine the space between organic and intelligence directed systems, developing hybrids between these two methods of being in the world. I use insect derived patterns, software tropes, digital fabrication, geographical systems, and computer aided design to build constructs descended from this line of questioning. Technology is a central theme of my work. Technology in the sense of the sharpened bone and the guided missile, in the sense of the ant hill and the corporation. Within my work contemporary and ancient technologies live together, compressing the timespan of the human being, crystallizing the boundaries of the brief window of human preeminence.
