Backyard Bash: Conference of the Birds
New Age Nature draws on notions of the Anthropocene, a term proposed by scholars for our current geological period that is characterized by the impact of humans on our ecosphere. Al-Ani describes New Age Nature as “a nest at the end of its use, falling apart, back into nature.” Scraps of building materials are fitted together to form a broken circle that comments on our crisis of human shelter.
