This series of works developed out of the Her Ocean Floor works. In a wet slurry of materials, the sedimentation process reveals a new shapes. The works in this grouping of paper, clay, wax and steel sculptures collectively evoke a posthumanist landscape: shapes from a distant past or a possible future. Shapes humans, might become, that we became, and undid. Forms both figure and landscape. Forms that feel like artifacts from an alternate timeline, telling a story of intradependent, emergent life, queer life.

posthumanism :
Whereas a humanist perspective frequently assumes the human is autonomous, conscious, intentional, and exceptional in acts of change, a posthumanist perspective assumes agency is distributed through dynamic forces of which the human participates but does not completely intend or control. Posthumanist philosophy constitutes the human as:
(a) physically, chemically, and biologically enmeshed and dependent on the environment;
(b) moved to action through interactions that generate affects, habits, and reason; and
(c) possessing no attribute that is uniquely human but is instead made up of a larger evolving ecosystem.
