Anthropocene is a book of photography which looks to capture the subtleties of humanity's footprint on Earth. The book is made up of 80 black and white, 35 mm film photographs, which were hand developed and processed digitally. Bound in buckram, Anthropocene is 9.5 X 12.7 in. in size. It follows the journey from inside the forest, outward, and makes notice of human / nature interactions. A small first batch of books was printed in December 2020.
Anthropocene exhibited at The Old Bookstore Gallery, NY in December of 2020. The show consisted of 21 prints from the book.
"My point in photographing is to catch our assumptions at the root. I am photographing the side effects of our disconnect - the subtleties of humanity’s footprint on Earth, and the unconsidered and overlooked human nature interactions that exist right at the source of our detachment. It is the separation between these two worlds that defines my work and yet humans and nature undoubtedly come from the same thing. We are a part of the earth, made of the same stuff; everything has sprung from the ground and will go back into it some way or another. Patterns form and dissolve. Structures are built and eroded. Humanity consumes nature and nature will eventually consume us. How have these structures altered our perceptions of the natural world and how we exist in it? Have we convinced ourselves of our own separateness from the Earth?"
