1000 Years From Now. Sandy

The 1000 Years From Now Sandy works were created by soaking the paper in sea salt water for 2-3 days. Dirt, and on some drawings, a sharp stone from the area from which it was collected was used to write Sandy numerous times on three layers of paper. This process was repeated until the paper was ripped and torn. The dirt was fixed with acrylic gel.
