Tomorrow Land is a body of work created between 2010 and 2014. It consists of paintings and my first sculptures created wtih 3D printing technology. The images start with the simple juxtaposition of large shadows over aerial views of depressed and abandoned locations. The shadows cast are of things that symbolize, what I refer to as, "Aspirational Technology". These are things that represent, or at one point represented, the progress of our technological civilization and the glory which a high-technology future would (still could) bring. The locations depicted are towns, neighborhoods and population centers which have been recently abandoned due to industrial negligence. The sculptures began with imagery derived from the paintings but soon evolved into something more as I began creating rotating space habitats which would directly lead into my next body of work, "The Future is Always Tomorrow".
