Last two millions year
Canadian artist Geoffrey Farmer is well known internationally for producing
large-scale mixed media works, comprising drawing, sculpture, photography
and film that are characterised by their meticulous research and conceptual
rigour.
This new body of work takes as its starting point a book found lying on the
street titled 'The Last Two Million Years'. The encyclopedia presents a
description of the evolution of the earth leading up to the appearance of
‘Homo sapiens’ and the subsequent history of man from this time.
Famer uses the specificities of this chance starting point to tackle the
larger themes of how we understand our existence in the world, how this is
articulated through language and how this can have relevance to an
individual.
The exhibition has been organised by The Drawing Room, London.
