Artist Statement:

As a citizen I live in a fantasy-land, a desert known for artifice. An installed theater

of changing landscapes and a re invented skyline. A stage filled with performers

of skyscrapers, artificial cities, and islands shaped like the trees and the galaxy. 

And beyond all the stage is built for imaginary viewers. I question what my land

is becoming. I question those dreams installed. I question what is left of this land.
