PLANET EATERS
1990-1994, Selected Works
Planet Eaters were conceived as a series of symbolic wall figures that would reflect our species’ collective need to exploit the resources of our planet. Population growth coupled with the Industrial Revolution has depleted our world’s natural wealth which is quickly being exhausted with disastrous side effects. Climate change, the all-encompassing reflection of the human era, is altering the ecology of the earth at an unprecedented rate. Planet Eaters signal our folly!
