Fantastic! It is a new adventure for sure! I am always on the fence on what is next. Creative play without worrying about results feeds the soul. I struggle too...but off to the studio I go today!

i remember that doc! it was called ‘life after people’ or something - i think about it often, also.

Something like that, yeah.

I can relate to nearly all of this post! I have been pondering nature’s reclamation since 2015, and serves as a frequent undercurrent in my work. Once you start to imagine nature's resurgence, it is hard to shake. If you haven't already, I recommend checking out images of the land and towns within the exclusion zone.

I’m stoked to see where this turning point – or Zero Point – takes you!

Thanks Kim. I saw a documentary a few years ago about Chernobyl now and it’s wild, literally.

See! These thoughts will never go away! Perhaps this might inspire or interest you too: before the war in Ukraine, individuals visited and occasionally lived in Prypiat; I believe they referred to themselves as “stalkers.” It seemed deeply rooted in survivalist machismo, but the images of them in Prypiat are haunting.

I’ll take a look at that.

I only have this one official project right now, but I have ideas for more.
