About The Work
The post-apocalyptic realm of Alchemy (2016-ongoing) evokes a timeless spiritual abyss where atonement and purification seem forever out of reach. Featuring elements of architecture, ancient and modern, that float amid dark moody skies, these stark black-and-white worlds evoke the loss of symbolic order. From twinkling skyscrapers to cold slabs of stone, these monuments to human progress are mysteriously set adrift in a cold, godless universe. Their fragmented, abstracted, and tilting forms seem to fall and rise in response to gravitational forces beyond their control. Like futuristic landscapes infused with the romantic sublime, the nature they conjure is a wild and fearsome one presided over by the power of the full moon. Moving through space, unmoored by gravity and purpose, they are sci-fi ruins from a defunct planet long ago forgotten.
