The 2060's -
memories of a forgotten future

Looking back into the next decades allows us to practice a form of future archaeology: digging forward in time rather than backward. Instead of uncovering traces of the past, the works relocate memory into futures that have not yet arrived — proposing archival images of events that never occurred.
 

The works begin with photographs of existing sites that undergo digital fragmentation and reconstruction through the manual stretching of individual pixels. These altered images are then printed as large-scale cyanotypes on hand-coated Japanese Kozo paper. Combining one of photography's earliest processes with digitally transformed imagery, the resulting works appear simultaneously futuristic and obsolete, as if recovered from an archive whose origin cannot be fully verified.

It is a question I return to across my work — how images outlive the realities that produced them. The works here depict futures imagined from within another moment in time. Already obsolete, they are severed from a reality that was supposed to lead toward them — memories of a future that never arrived.

Suspended between document and speculation, the works blur the boundaries between evidence and fiction, archive and projection. Rather than preserving what was, the archive begins to preserve what never became.
