ELLEN ANGUS
SAPPHIC MERCREATURES OF THE POST-ANTHROPOCENE (2023)
Post Anthropocene Mermaids (2023) PADA Residency, Lisbon
'There are patches of land that are blue/green and burgundy where little grows and other areas where it looks like the plant species are taking over the old industrial cement columns..claiming back their habitat. I became interested in how these cement ruins reminded me of the ruins of temples, sites of religiosity and power albeit with very different gods to worship. I also became consumed with the stagnant canal which runs through the site and the chemical residue of industry, creating a story of post-anthropocene Mercreatures as the only survivors of an impending apocalypse.'
