Worlding With Earth
The post-Anthropocene planet isn’t going to be one without humans. It’s going to be a planet where the interdependencies of nature and man are realigned, the lines between the organic and synthetic blur, and we ultimately become something more-than-human.

Coming together over the last three years, this l…

The exhibition also included a musical work entitled "A Cappella," which …
Desert Dictionary
300 copies limited edition* Desert Dictionary navigates sonic territories oscillating between language and landscape, between notation and noise.
