Illuminated Collapse merges figure and ground to highlight human connection to the surrounding world. In these sculptures, unsettling dioramic scenes unfold on the surface of circular, wooden bases and terrestrial globes. Anatomies/ landscapes are engaged in dramatic acts of self-consumption and destruction, projecting a metaphorical End of Times narrative. Mirroring our own world through their miniature elements, the works reflect on contemporary consumption, industrial development, and inherent environmental degradation.

Context is Everything merges the unwanted and undervalued flora of the landscape with the characteristic of judging people and events and circumstances too quickly without using prior knowledge and insights. The installation consists of 2000 paper dandelions installed in perpetual bloom across the floor of the gallery. The dandelion is a silent protest heard worldwide on sidewalks, in parks and gardens and is a model for how to be strong in the face of adversity.
