cultural explorations
Just as a core sample is drawn from the earth, this piece bases it’s ‘sampling’ on the conventionalized data found in atlases to understand a world we never see as a whole.
This stratification of information is evidenced in the 23,000 3.75” circles, hand-cut from a stack of atlases and encased in an acrylic tube.
