There are less than two weeks left to visit Vanished: A Chronicle of Loss and Discovery Across Half a Million Years at the Chico State campus. Vanished is an investigation of four lost icons that persist as powerful ideas. These icons include a mammoth, a man, a tree, and a volcano. A collaboration between myself (project director, photographer), Heather Altfeld (writer), Oliver Hutton (graphic designer), Troy Jollimore (philosopher, poet), Sheri Simons (sculptor), and Rachel Teasdale (volcanologist), we explore how to assemble a world of fact, fiction, and myth. The results are a collection of interconnected words, images, and objects. This is the most recent iteration of a seven year effort. It's an expansive exhibition in four different venues that includes a wide range of objects, images, and installations (for example, you'll find six different book publications including one that is eight feet wide!).
