work > cantos for the anthropocene: 22-42 (2018)

Cantos for the Anthropocene is a series of 46 works. All rectilinear layered forms. All but one wall mounted forms. All but several titled by number only. Mostly, they were my wordless responses to vanishment in all its forms: extinction, genocide, habitat destruction, biosphere collapse. The vanishment of kindness. Lamentations.
