The work shown here is part of a larger body of work entitled Broadcasting Live from the Apocalypse. Growing up watching cinema from the 1980s, I was always fascinated by the decade's depiction of both the future and its use of extreme fantasy. My work is an indirect representation of these ongoing ideas and dreams that still play out in my head on a daily basis. Stemming from these older images and ideas I consumed, Broadcasting Live from the Apocalypse represents my past and present visions of the future. The work portrays the human body in the sense that we have the ability to medically enhance or change certain features of ourselves. Our bodies can be whatever we want them to be whether it is the changing of our skin color to the addition or subtraction of body parts. Also represented is the normalcy which is involved with this extreme medical possibility. The individuals in these works don't seem to notice their mutations and are living in a constant state of apathy.
