Soil Samples & Landscapes

I am informed by my surroundings, both past and present. The objects of these places influence my work as I seek to understand how what we leave behind will impact our future landscape. Informed by the landscapes around me, I imagine what our landscapes will look like as a result of our car culture. Through soil samples, I examine the connection between time, consumption and waste, as I seek to understand the place I am living in and how I fit within it.
