I make media artworks inspired by eco-horror and speculative fiction, and drawings of elements in the natural world.

I shoot video and alter it in ways that are sometimes humourous and sometimes scary. I trespassed digitally into a Nick Offerman whisky commercial by placing myself into the scene via greenscreen. I created a haunted lake inspired by eco-horror films by inserting oversized crystals and mirroring effects into the landscapes. I juxtaposed my own drawings of holes in the ground with Google 3D animals to simulate the animals standing on the verge of sinkholes in their habitats. Videos are filmed in arctic and desert landscapes and altered digitally with unnatural haunted things. Drawings include holes in the ground, columns of smoke, and tangles of snakes. In 2024 I completed Tunnel and Radio Skies - a video shot in Colorado, Arizona, California, Newfoundland, and New York, which combines live action and animation created with the help of an artificial intelligence.
