FAR Bazaar Project

AVANZANDO MIENTRAS RETROCEDE (MOVING FORWARD / STEPPING BACK)

Description: After years of working in ceramics, a very carbon-intensive art form,  these sculptures represent a different approach out of concern for the environment. These new forms are made in a way that uses as little carbon as possible. Almost all of the carbon in these forms was emitted many years ago. 

Location: FA32A
