RIGHT ABOUT HERE, Installation Nation 2018, Indianapolis Art Center
Plywood, latex paint, treated lumber; 8' x 5' x 26'; 2018

• To locate the Anthropocene as a geologic moment
• To place a person in time, in the geologic record, in space
• Tree rings contain multitudes in climate history, told through a single specific location, an ecosystem, a microclimate, a place
• The Ash tree, and the gigantic tree, are increasingly relics, monuments themselves
• The phrase 'Right About Here' is perfectly unspecific in it precision; it reflects the imprecision of memory, the uncertainty of knowing
