I see my creative work as a kind of documentation of the technoMetamorphosis.
 
From 1994 to 2002 my sculpture and image work give way to academic study. Much of this came under the heading Philosophy of Mind, from these studies an interest in what I call, the technoMetamorphosis of humanity has developed. This phenomenon is both terrifying and exhilarating.

My latest work consists of poetry and digital images. Some are created entirely with the computer, others a manipulation of my original photographs and sculptures using various computer programs and techniques. These explore my concerns about our cyborg, transhuman and posthuman future. Human beings are balancing on the edge of a truly new abyss.  Through genetic, chemical and computer engineering we have to decide what we will become.

The old myths perpetuated by bureaucratic-authoritarian religious organizations, Newtonian style reductionist, non-holistic scientific investigation, and messianic, capitalist economic policy represent unsustainable practices and ideologies, which if continued, will bring about the extinction of humanity.

I try to create a dynamic tension in my images between being human and the technology we create. The essence of my work is perfectly described by Dollens, “his images have a narrative quality that interlocks the technical and metaphysical creating a space of oscillating dialogue giving them depth and mystery”.

I hope my new work will evoke in others an increased awareness of the ramifications of our fledgling technoMetamorphosis.
