Our Geological Survey 

Landscapes embody both the infinitesimal and the infinite and are charged with contradictions and uncertainties that unfold over bewildering spans of time: creation and destruction, order and disorder, expansion and contraction, ancient and urgent. In the midst of this perpetual dynamism humans are notoriously bad at comprehending time and scale, and  valuing our ancestral legacy.  We are short-lived and short-sighted.  

This work, and related series, explore possibilities for visualizing and comprehending deep time through landscape architectures, narratives, sediments, and strata.
