A city girl, I feel an overwhelming sense of awe in the face of the expanse of a desert or ocean. Within these landscapes, humanity seems small and insignificant. Geologic eras are etched into layers of rock. Our time on earth seems short in contrast. So far there have been thirty-seven epochs in the history of this planet. Humans have been on Earth for less than two of these, though our impact on the planet has been tremendously outsized. This multi-layered work, places scenes of human habitation within a landscape shaped by climate change. Will we be part of the next epoch?
