"Multiverse is the result of the close collaboration between artist and machine, a relationship over three years with a Co2 laser. Uniting photography, painting, and assemblage with naval engineering schematics from the early 20th century, these laser engravings are tangible, topographical iterations of the virtual, myriad, energized worlds that seem to have emerged from technological cataclysm. Objects in this exhibition together feel like a glimpse into an alternate dimension, dreamscapes where rebirth is tooled or radical change is sparked, portals into several possible futures or multiple worlds.“
