Anthropocene
This earthenware series explores the purposed new geological time period known as the Anthropocene. Since the early 1800s, people have dramatically impacted the Earth's surface. For better or worse many substances have been extracted and deposited; so much so that the most recent layers have unique characteristics among known strata. For my work I have turned bits of contemporary trash into fossil-like pieces for the viewer to reflect on what our times may potentially leave behind.
