Layers of cardboard hardened with resin stand like a fossil of tomorrow, held upright by steel, carrying the weight of history before it has even passed. Chains and beads hang from it like relics, suspended between ornament and ritual. Cardboard once carried goods. Resin freezes time. Steel holds the force of construction. Together they form a fiction of survival, an artefact that asks what remains when culture is stripped to fragments. Not nostalgic, but speculative. A signal that the present is already tomorrow’s ruin, and the ruin a possible beginning. I’m showing Artefact 11 this week at Collectible NY.
