Erectus Dysfunction
2018 -
Erectus Dysfunction is a metaphoric rumination on diminished physical prowess, loss of collective agency and climate dystopia.
This reimagined landscape is littered with collapsed, desiccated ancient geological fragments, set off in stark contrast by a featureless sky. Classic Modernist landscape photography is agressively challenged as pareidolic shapes shamelessly suggest human form.
These photographs of 35-million-year old volcanic formations were made at the City of Rock State Park in Southwest New Mexico. Prints are archival pigment quadratone, 40"w x 30"h.
