Clay pressed to living bark. The tree's own record, held in the clay.

living fossils

Living Fossils is a long-term in situ ceramic project responding to ancient and veteran trees.

Clay impressions taken directly from living bark — the tree's surface topography held in the clay, its texture, its history, its presence.

Repaired with resin sourced from the tree's own kin.

The tree as co-author across deep past and deep future. The clay as the record it leaves behind.

This page will grow as the project does.
