The Machine in the Garden

2022-ongoing

 

History unfurls and we neatly fold the sequencing of events into an affable blanket statement of cause and effect. Historicism and its teleological narrative rolling inevitably into an apocalyptic capstone embody the essence of my artistic practice. The very nature of sequencing and inserting cause and effect into humankind’s narrative is in direct contradiction to the foundations of the phenomena of retrospect. Where once time was a fixed ideal in which history conforms to eternal laws, we now view freedom as the purpose of history.
