I have so many questions about the future of the natural world and what role humans will play in it. How will we try to solve problems like rising ocean temperatures or colony collapse disorder? Will we intercede by creating mechanized replacements of the animals we lose?

In the “Machines” series, I meld animals with machinery, playing mad scientist in a laboratory that should never really exist. . . are these just surreal visual experiments, or do they foretell a tragic, not-so-distant future?
