The delicate layers of a geode take hundreds of years to form, increasing in complexity as waves of mineral-laden water wash through spaces in rock. Likewise, the complexity of our entanglement with plastic has taken close to a century to form, quietly, out of sight, and is only now being revealed.

So much of our consumption is driven by marketing. In this series of quilted collages that read as polished agates, I take little marketing gems I find on single-use plastic packaging and combine them to create an homage to a time and a place on planet Earth.

This geode is framed in a 15 5/8" x 15 5/8" x 2" shadow box frame with museum grade UV acrylic to protect the art from sun damage. Even so, please keep the artwork out of direct sunlight in your home to preserve the colors for as long as possible.
