This kinetic sculpture is inspired by the life in healthy soil, made for an exhibition organised and curated by Golden Earth Studio. Strange terracotta soil microorganisms teeter and pirouette through space, held aloft by a weather-beaten brass tripod, reminiscent of planetary instruments of the Enlightenment. These terracotta microbial forms are counterbalanced, dangling while rotating around a central brace, itself encircled by a throng of reaching ceramic earthworms. Terroir made manifest: soil fauna and microbes brought to life and made visible. The apparent precariousness of Oddkin Constellation reflects the jeopardy facing our soil ecosystems.
