STATEMENT

I am a taxonomist of absences, a detective of bio-history in search of recently extinct species. I am a collector of their ill-fated destinies, practicing funeral acupuncture on old globes.

I am a late descendant of Noah, an artist-naturalist who harvests specters. My ark is broken, scattered in space and time. I avoid the deception of vividly representing that which has already died, that which I futilely pursue.

I am an insurgent gravedigger who organizes rebellions through spaces of mourning. I build anti-speciesist eco-memorials that act as mechanisms for learning, perhaps sad, that has been denied us.

I am a geographer of Gaia's pain, selecting remote and forgotten places. I delve into their not-so-small traumas: human and non-human. There, I install my works ephemerally, halfway between peripheral natural history museums and those that commemorate a great catastrophe. I document each process in detail. In the end, when I exhibit in the usual spaces for art, I do not simply show objects... but an experience.
