My current work explores the spaces between representation and replication, examining notions of the the natural world and the ways in which they're synthesized or abstracted. The work analyzes a kind of practical cosmopolitanism that seems to result from this process, and its ability to promote the consumption of style and efficiency.

My landscapes break down already mediated abstractions of the "natural" world; the images are borrowed, reduced, colour matched and filtered until only an artificial essence of their initial sources remains. These works act to present representations of the "natural" in an explicitly synthesized form; reminding the viewer of the possibility of an authentic nature that is ambulatory and organic instead of static and cliched.
