Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "I expressed the earth through the coffee stains, the rich and messy soil that both concealed Mary’s discoveries and mirrored how her contributions were buried by society. Just as she brushed away layers of rock to reveal ancient life, we too must brush away the biases of history to truly see her brilliance."
