ANTHROPOCENE – A Group Exhibition by Kay Field & Crispin Field at 259 Hardy St
The theme captured in our joint exhibition is based on the concepts underpinning the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene is a proposed geological epoch characterised by humanity’s significant and accelerating impact on Earth’s systems, including the climate, geology, and ecosystems. Characterised by technological advancements, rapid population growth, and rising consumption, this era has brought widespread changes, including plastic pollution, deforestation, and the combustion of fossil fuels. Humans have become a virulent geological force, altering natural processes on a global scale. Our ceramics and photographs reflect the destructive force that humans have on planet Earth. The rings or circles signify hope that we can reverse this cycle.
