Noah's New Home, 20" x 20" digital c-print on paper, 2004
I have been a constant mover - once five times in one year - and currently in a world where I am interacting with technology more than people. I was raised in a large Catholic family consumed with worries of our world's eventual demise. As we witness our culture become increasingly dependent on technology and one universal culture (capitalism), what is the end-state? I begin these photographs by creating wearable-houses; sculptures that are a necessity in the future as our environment crumbles around us. With the help of these sculptures, people will have the ability to be completely nomadic. Some people build walls to protect old dwellings from the tides, some navigate through water, or build their own islands. These photographs follow a few lost Navigators who don't relate to one another. As a result of a homogenization within products, architecture, leisure activities, and even thought, there will be a return to primal hunter/gatherer.
