These intaglio collages were assembled from abandoned proofs of a strange, dark landscape I made in 2004, an image which suggested many things but always felt unresolved. As I worked, I reimagined my original landscape in light of the planetary upheavals of climate catastrophe. I considered how the earth might evolve in the post-anthropocene period, as climate change pushes the world toward a drastically more elemental phase of existence and mass extinction results in many fewer life forms. I contemplated historic depictions of natural phenomena and catastrophic visions, fossil records and geological timelines. What will the next earthly era look like? What will survive to evolve? These little dystopias emerged as possible futures.
