Environmental apocalyptic narratives are used in many environmental campaigns to frame the urgency for cultural-ecological change. These apocalypses are usually breathtakingly beautiful, grandiose, and completely devastating. The Homeostasis and Fragility complicates such narratives by introducing homeostasis, or the ability for systems to "even out," even if they settle for a different, lesser, or damaged median. Each individual, tiny piece in Homeostasis and Fragility is made of glass and is exhibited without a vitrine. Pieces are frequently broken by spectators or in shipping. After each exhibition, I photograph the broken piece, then "fix" it using waste materials. each piece evolves into a different object with each miniature "apocalypse." Will a piece ever break so badly that it can no longer "evolve"? What does the series mean for conservation, both of art and of ecosystems?
