Fossilized Guilt, 2016, Tooth Fossil, enlarged CNC Carved High Density Foam, Silicone, 3d printed connector, acrylic, orange tape
Fossilized Guilt is a three-part installation of a 3D scanned and enlarged CNC tooth fossil collected from the Arctic Circle near Svalbard. The original fossil is held in a rubber cast of the artist's right hand in a sculpture referencing the absence of the remainder of the artists body. Images of the 3D scanned fossil and rocks are reduced to a mediated mesh throughout the gallery. Using a cell phone as an observational tool, the resulting installation is a series of mediated and manipulated works that refer to a foreign and fleeting landscape. Through 3D scanning, printing, and digital fabrication processes, the mathematical mesh of each object shifts through computational processes. The data loss in each object correlates to the changing state of the physical materiality original to each object. Guilt for disrupting, displacing, and dispersing these elements of the Arctic landscape is carried through the color orange, which acts as a collective vessel for each object ultimately referring to a large collective pocket (of the pair of pants) in which they were gathered together.
