Living Fossils is a series of pulptypes contemplating the emergence and disappearance of species over the epochs. Using Gingko biloba fibers, they seek connections between our present ecologies and ancient species that are still living or have become extinct. The imagery is based on the artists' blind drawings of fossilized fish from the Harvard Museum of Natural History in Boston, MA, and color studies of water surfaces in Narragansett Bay, RI. Gingko biloba is native to China and is one of the oldest living tree species in the world. ‘Pulptype’ is a technique the artist discovered, which is informed by both the printmaking and hand papermaking processes—it uses only handmade paper pulp, and results in works that resemble monotypes.
