"This work is all about what's been left behind. It relates to archaeology, thinking about what humans have left behind over the centuries. It also refers to what we're leaving behind now in our trash. I'm thinking about how nature uses our trash and how alternate evolutions may happen with nature figuring out a way to use the plastics that litter our current environment." - Margaret Craig
"The handmade paper functions as an element of burial. Images are buried in paper pulp and created with paper pulp screen printing, mimicking the process of leaves creating soil overtime. Traditional print processes reference historical and contemporary representations. Titles indicate some of the elements that may be found within the image." - Margaret Craig
