Catriona Robertson – Crustose

We are living in a human-made landscape, where few truly wild places remain. My sculptures contemplate the idea of human-made landscapes where over time layers of an urban geology emerge, inviting reflection toward a more-than human perspective. I imagine a narrative of a post-human future where nature reclaims the city through the cracks of concrete foundations. Eroded surfaces take the form of architectural relics excavated from future hybrid ecosystems; new age sediments of the Anthropocene. As synthetic materials become entangled with organic they resemble precious marbles and future fossils.
