For dates and times\ , please visit www.slboc.com/whats-on.”\n\nTechnofossils are human-mad e objects and materials that will persist in the geological record for mil lions of years. The monstrous amount of stuff we make and discard is creat ing a distinct new layer in the Earth’s crust.\n\nEveryday ephemera is p iling up beneath our feet\, this installation presents a horrifying glimps e into the future\, one where our collective waste has begun to seep throu gh cracks in the earth\, rising to the surface and permeating the structur e of the city. The ruinous form of St Luke’s Bombed Out Church\, a symbo l of destruction and resilience\, lies encrusted in a synthetic assemblage of Technofossils.\n\nAmy’s pewter cast sculptures are deliberately all uring at first glance\, sparkling gemstones and shiny metal entice the vie wer in. Only on closer inspection are the contours of outdated mobile phon es and plastic food containers revealed\; rubbish masquerading as treasure . This journey through desire and disgust mimics the cycle of consumerism. Numerous themes of duality are at play here: artificial/organic\, worthle ss/precious\, temporary/permanent\, growth/decay.\n\nThis commissioned art work draws on Amy’s practice as a jeweller with a strong focus on materi ality and handcraft. Formed by casting waste artefacts in sand\, her fabri cated Technofossils are tactile by their very nature. Their composition\ , inspired by growth forms of Lichen\, responds to this site\, evoking the qualities of a living organism.\n\nAmy invites the public to experience t his artwork through touch\, please be gentle when doing so. This piece is part of a series\, with another work exhibited in Port Sunlight Village on the Wirral.\n\n@drippedgoods\n\n \;\n\nAbout Bombed Out Church:\n\n&n bsp\;\n\n\nSt Luke’s Bombed‑Out Church is one of Liverpool’s most iconic cultural landmarks — a roofless\, historic shell of a former parish church struck by an incendiary bomb during World War II\, now re imagined as a contemporary space for arts\, culture\, and community outrea ch.
