Intent

An immersive installation experience, comprising an abstract ceramic landscape with digital and audio projection, creating an immersive temporal vision of after the Anthropocene, 'Intent' was presented as part of Melbourne Design Week.
In the world we want, there is hope, recovery and optimism, with new life emerging. 
This work imagines a post-Anthropocene Earth and acknowledges the eternal potential and evolution of biological life.
In each ceramic form, evidence of eons of geological time is contrasted with ephemeral biological time, shown in fleeting digital moments; the Earth holds its stories of lessons lived and learnt.
'Intent' combines two types of sculptural forms: Foundation Stones, remnants of long-abandoned built architectural structures, the building blocks of human ingenuity, a once civilised society that is now of no matter, and Mountain forms, representing deep time. Each form carries memories of time passed, with imprints of biological life on Earth’s geological surface, marks of meteors travelling through galaxies demonstrating universal, deep geological time, and the ruptures and distress of enduring the eons on their surfaces. 
'Intent' composes an environment built from the earth’s extracted finite resources. The artist acknowledges that conserving these resources is essential to our survival. 
We are reminded to be mindful in our choices, as with every choice there is a consequence.
