FLOWERS FROM THE FOURTH KINGDOM

Animal, vegetable, mineral — now plastic, the Fourth Kingdom of the material world.

Petroleum-derived, manufactured, purchased and delivered through a complex supply chain, these plastic flowers exemplify nature disrupted. Rendered as spectral phantoms in a color drained nether-world, they are in perpetual stasis, negating the cycles of nature. Presented in an herbarium format, they become an archive of shadowy, off-gassing replicants devouring natural resources. The plastic specimens we record will remain long after us as momento mori of the Plastic Age.

22 x 28 inches, archival pigment prints, 2022-2026. Edition of 8.
