This piece was made during the height of the pandemic and in the aftermath of the devastating Australian bushfires in 2019/2020. It was hard not to adopt an apocalyptic mindset, it still is, yet when chaos integrates itself into the everyday, I find piece knowing my existence is but a fleeting moment on an infinite timeline.

As one concerned with loss and extinction I can only relinquish to the thought that this is nature, I am , my thoughts are , my smartphone is, just as plastic is too. Does life cease to exist when I do? No, of course we know that, it simply passes by. Just the same as nature, it never ceases. There is no doubt that plastic will become and perhaps already is a time stamp on earths geology, a slither of time buried beneath infinite saplings.
