    DOGS OF FUTURE EARTH    
JULIA OLDHAM

OPENS SATURDAY SEPT 14
3pm - 5pm
(or by appointment)

Dogs of Future Earth (2018) is a series of digitally created images of the aftermath of ecological disaster, in which humans have become extinct. In these pieces, which combine photo collage and digital drawing, packs of stray dogs inhabit landscapes strewn with human artifacts such as mountains of CRT monitors and pleasure boats fossilizing in a dry lake bed. The dogs in these works are inspired by the real life stray dogs that live in the exclusion zone of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine, inhabiting abandoned buildings and dilapidated playgrounds.
