Out of Place is an installation that operates as a proxy—representing and reconstructing landscapes altered by human intervention and environmental change.

My consideration of nature in relation to the built environment draws from concepts of Post-Naturalism. This perspective questions the objectification of nature as pristine and separate from humans, unveiling the complex entanglements between culture and ecology.

Human intervention has not only altered the land, but also the way it is remembered. As ecosystems degrade and transform, so too do the narratives we construct about them.  

I photograph landscapes affected by tornadoes, droughts, and flooding and print them onto wall-sized paper. The images are collaged into three-dimensional structures and skins that peel away from walls and collapse to the floor. Appearing as dislocated fragments, they are severed from their origins and reassembled into unstable new configurations. Like memory itself, these forms serve as fleeting, elegiac monuments to trees, oceans, land, and sky.

Mangled metals and plastics culled from dumps and gathered during travels throughout the United States combine with fallen tree parts and photographs to form hybrid landscapes assembled from remnants, traces, and debris.

As these fragments accumulate, distinctions between the natural and the manufactured, the past and the present, the original and the copy begin to collapse. 

Out of Place does not restore what has been lost but functions as a facsimile instead, revealing nature as memory—unsettled and continually in flux. 

We are both the maker and the made, entrenched in the conditions we create.
