I’ve been considering and wanting to make this kind of artwork for years, but by its very nature it wouldn’t have made sense until this point. This collection of artwork is the result of working from a very visual perspective – dressing imagined locations and scenarios with paint and texture. I’m very pleased with the result. “This isn’t the story of how we might disappear, this is the story of what happens to the world we leave behind. The disappearance of humans might seem like science fiction, but eventually there will be a day like this. A day when people no longer walk the earth.”
