Fossil Record

Fossil Record is a permanent public art installation in Mississauga that evokes geological time and humanity’s fleeting place within it. Shaped like an unearthed artifact or cast-off shell, the sculpture suggests erosion, layering, and ancient formations, inviting viewers to reflect on impermanence and ecological legacy.

Acting as both relic and habitat, it encourages interaction while grounding the public realm in questions of sustainability, climate, and time. With its textured, fossil-like surface and elemental form, Fossil Record bridges natural history with contemporary sculpture, creating a contemplative landmark that connects art to environment and human time to planetary time.
