About the series

The arkology project is an alternate reality I began working on in 2015. In the world of arkology, everyday people find “time capsules” of sorts that contain artifacts from the future, not the past. These containers, called “arks,” are filled with quotidian objects such as currencyscraps of magazine articles, and children’s coloring books, many of which point to a world that has an uncanny (if unsettling) resemblance to our own. As part of the project, I created the American Arkology Society, a group that studies the arks. In 2020 I was “commissioned” by the Society to create a series of models depicting scenes based on “evidence” uncovered in arks found in the United States.

You can learn more at the Arkology page on this website, or head to the American Arkology Society website to see all of the documentation, including videos, objects, FAQ, and more.
