“Distill #7 combines ancient plant species such as conifer, lichen, and ferns with miniature furniture in a small vignette. The original is created in a cardboard shipping box and then cast in molten iron. Forcing the relationship between prehistoric and current geological eras, the casting process at once creates a replica and destroys the landscape, translating diorama into a fossilized depiction of the Anthropocene era. Distill #7 features symbolic objects of the sabbath, a shadow of domesticity with a bottle and clock.” — Beth Lipman
