Carbon Generations, Small block (Alex Thompson)

Welcome to Carbon Generations, a toy block petrofantasia in miniature. Recasting waste material as educational plaything, this exhibition points to construction-themed children’s media and connects their narratives to the normalization of dominant worldviews. Fossil fuel-intensive industry, sanitizing characters like Bob the Builder, and the threat of shifting climate inform the work. This item is one randomly determined small block from the installation Carbon Generations.
