"Fossil Fuel Study" Series 2018/19

Materials: Cast Lucite, cow bones.

The series titled “Fossil Fuel Study” was created using cow bones that were discovered in the field of a sustainable dairy farm long after the animal had passed from natural causes. Nature had cleaned the bones over a long period of time. Rysyk then encapsulated the bones into Lucite (a material processed from fossil fuels, which is made from decomposed plants and animals). Lucite is a casting material that can be made from repurposed acrylic plastic scraps and formed together in a pressure cooker.

Since bones from the past have turned into fossil fuels, and the Lucite is used to further preserve the bones, this body of work raises questions about preservation methods, the oil industry, and our food systems.
