Battles and Hybrids

Common threads that have consistantly run through my work are opposition, hybridization, laboriousness, industry, violence, overabundance, humor, paranoia, fear, and beauty. The series that I was involved in are psychological and fantastical vignettes of nature versus technology hybrids. It was titled Psy-Fi: Battles and Hybrids, a psychological fiction that explores unrealistic future conditions of our world from a hyper-realistic-dreamy-aerial-view inside our imagination. These images of hybrids or battles depict a scene where the natural or technological victor is unclear, or shifts from scene to scene. Using only graphite, they serve as a photo-literal account of a poetic-figurative world.
