Artificial Romance

2021 - Current

Artificial Romance explores our complex, interwoven, and increasingly artificial relationship with the natural world. Our treatment of non-human beings is fraught with ambivalence. Nature can procure song and prose, yearning, nostalgia and memory. We use it to adorn our homes, decorate our urban spaces, and as material to build with and upon. We transform, destroy and multiply nature, consciously and unconsciously leave an irreversable imprint. This projects seeks out the intersections of nature and civilization, attempts at it’s integration and appropriation into our own realm, and the search for our own place within it.
