Looking at the Sky/ To Those Who Create the Future
These two bodies of photographic work explore landscape through abstraction, atmosphere, and the aesthetics of technological mediation. Composed through drone-based image capture, digital compositing, and subtle algorithmic interventions, the images draw visual language from mid-century colorfield painting while remaining grounded in environmental and geopolitical contexts.
To Those Who Create the Future focuses on landscapes shaped by extractive industry—lithium mines in the Atacama Desert, the Salton Sea, and oil fields in the Mojave. The resulting images, while abstract in appearance, are built from site-specific data and light. As DeWitt Cheng writes, they operate as “a kind of sociopolitical camouflage,” where painterly surfaces “reflect subject matter of disquieting contemporary import.” Jonathan T. D. Neil suggests that the works “extract color and shade to the exclusion of all other axes of differentiation,” enacting a visual process that parallels the extraction taking place on the land itself.
The earlier series Looking at the Sky initiated this formal and conceptual approach through a focus on horizon lines, sky, and sea—distilling terrain into immersive color fields that hover between surface and illusion. While eschewing documentary form, these works remain attentive to place, atmosphere, and the blurred boundary between natural and constructed vision.
Together, the two series consider how landscape can be sensed, abstracted, and reimagined through tools of both observation and distance—offering a quiet, spatial meditation on perception, material history, and the aesthetics of extraction.
