With a ceiling work by Keck facing off with Parker’s floor installation — containing microplastics digested by Antarctic krill — these two artists create a grotto-like intervention to the gallery space, evoking an anthropocene beach of debris, metals, odd lifeforms and organic matter. As noted in the catalogue text by curator Ella Krivanek: “Porosity is a double-edged sword. It permits entry of toxic things but also reminds us that we are not hermetic vessels. This is happening to you too – petrochemicals crossing through your cell membrane as you read this.”**
