For my Long View Project, I brought back several discards from Antarctica to incorporate into art pieces. I’ve been intermittently posting photos of these artifacts along with any known information about them, which in most cases is quite little.

One thing for certain however is that they’re all thought and imagination-provoking items. Their curious shapes, marks, colors and textures demand more than a plausible guess. They beg for a story.

So starting with my current post, I’ll occasionally spin a short tale to accompany the objects. These stories will combine fact and fiction in part to to address their mysteries, but more so to bring these fascinating artifacts to life.
