Anthropocene Monument

2021

The strength of this monument lies in its simplicity, in its immutable presence. This object must be navigated by the full capacity of our proprioceptive senses, we cannot but relate to it with every aspect of our body. Its uneasy balance threatens.

The materials that will identify the geological age termed the Anthropocene are the substances of Parker’s monument. Processed organic matter indexically marked by that vast pollutant - plastic. It’s a delicate yet poignant balance Parker plays, drawing meaning from the meaningless, and beauty from waste.
