An anthropic rock is an artificial rock, a rock made by humans. We are surrounded by them, concrete, glass, ceramic. Anthropic rocks are a new rock type in the rock cycle which is the concept that illustrates the transition between sedimentary, igneous metamorphic and now anthropic rocks. The anthropic rocks in this exhibition are emblematic of the geologic age we live in, one defined by human trace upon and manipulation of the earth. These artworks are an inquiry into our technocratic society capable of mimicking the most dramatic of the earth’s forces, volcanism. In this exhibition the volcanic rock basalt is transformed into obsidian by my hand and modern technology, the resulting sculptures an uncanny recreation of nature.The rocks of this planet hold its story, 4.5 billion years of history. When the present is past, and our history is held in the anthropic rocks of today what stories will they tell.
