"I’m fascinated by the otherworldly aesthetic of the Anthropocene and contemplate the contradictory conditions that structure our reality. The figure in the landscape echoes the Venuses, effigies and fertility figures of ancient artworks and reflects upon our exploitation of nature and objectification of the feminine. Amboy Effigy was produced on location at National Chloride company’s salt evaporation canals in the Mojave Desert—its crystal-rimmed trenches filled with turquoise waters."
