Scarring the Earth With Desire
2024
Skylab Gallery
Columubs, OH
Scarring the Earth with Desire, is a body of work exploring survival aesthetics through research on the entanglements of tourism and climate change in tropical environments. Working with material studios and printed ephemera, the work references ways that image, language, ecology, and production frame perception around survival and leiure through the built environment and exoticized travel. Through abstract thinking and speculative research, this exhibition highlights the slippages between crisis and stability through short-sighted perspectives on destination utopia.
As an artist, I’m interested in the split-difference between perception and reality, and how collage, print, and material sciences can act as a metaphor for the construction, deconstruction, learning, and unlearning of how we think about climate change and leisure. Each of these works pull from research to reimagine and forge new ways of thinking about our role and connection to environmental kinship.
