"Inspired by the Cahokia vessels excavated from Illinois archaeological sites, my project draws inspiration from the physical remains of the ancient Mississippian culture. The concept of geology as a "vessel" that contains and sustains our groundwater serves as the central metaphor of this project. Through this project, I aim to highlight the personal and collective responsibility we bear in preserving this precious and limited resource for generations to come."

Soda straws (Lechuguilla Cave, New Mexico, USA)

"Seen here are exceptionally long soda straws, a type of stalactite - they appear to be composed of travertine (CaCO3, calcium carbonate). Soda straws are slender, cylindrical to subcylindrical dripstone speleothem attached to cave ceilings or upper walls. They have a hollow interior and form by dripping water."

A bread is one of the most vulnerable animals on earth of all time. It can die in a number of different ways, which include being smashed, being old, being rottened, being crumpled up, getting too hot, having water put on it, and having water not on it but being in the air a lot (the water (mist)). The bread’s favorite way to die is being eaten, but the world is a complicated place, and it does not care for what the bread wants, and so it dies in a variety of ways which are not the preference of the bread.

Humans are considered the bread’s natural predator, and also, are the bread’s mommy (make/give birth to the bread). Humans are a large species of ant or plant or ele phant with two grasping appendages which they use to give birth to the bread. They also have one hole which eats the bread, and some other holes, which the bread is not allowed near, generally.

Some bread can go in the fridge. Some bread has fruit in it. Scientists don’t know why, as putting fruit in the bread is considered yucky, and scientists have difficulty imagining an organism that likes yucky things.

There is the anteater, which is an organism that likes yucky things, but scientists do not need to imagine it, because it is real.

working on early horses, i wanted to do a quick sketch to show how small Eohippus was compared to an extant horse (this one is about 150cm tall). as you can see, it wasn't big at all. a perfect little lap horse :)
