Work from Evaporation Ponds.
“Evaporation Ponds presents the dazzling geometries of waste reservoirs created by natural gas production. Seen from above, their glowing expanses resemble luminous abstractions, recalling Colour Field painting or celestial photographs. Yet beneath this painterly surface lies a record of toxicity: landscapes engineered to dispose of industrial by-products, rendered strangely seductive through the impartial gaze of the satellite. By aestheticising what is ordinarily concealed, they expose the dissonance between beauty and harm at the heart of contemporary energy systems.” – Mishka Henner
