Abstract
Erased in front of a live audience. Shared across multiple platforms, in an exhibition and at a press conference.
Piece description: A toad begins to vanish, not in the wild, but from a drawing. A fragile act which mirrors ecological loss. What remains is a ghostly trace, a fragile imprint of what was; like the specimen of a once living animal. The erased shavings, collected in a specimen bottle to form a new record, the remains of an extinction.
Beside it is a preserved toad from the museum’s collection standing as a silent witness. Together, these elements speak of the role of human’s hands in documenting and erasing the natural world. The act of erasure, both literal and symbolic, underscores the fragility of what could be lost forever.
