Rachel Cole and Madeleine Boucher — Other Fantasies For Extinction Broadside
This delightful A4-sized broadside excerpts text and illustrations from Other Fantasies for Extinction, a forthcoming artist book by Rachel Garber Cole, illustrated by Madeleine Boucher.
Other Fantasies for Extinction is a deeply researched meditation on Deep Time, the Earth’s history of past mass extinctions, and the spreading of modern humans across the globe. It asks the question, what does it mean to be living on a rapidly warming planet? And how does this change necessitate new narratives that can help us contextualize and process this moment of transition? What does transition feel like? How do I weave this notion of transition into the fabric of my day to day reality?
