Tetrapod Evolution In A Flooded Basement By Birgit Rathsmann
Around 390 million years ago, the first creatures in the oceans got restless, and put out feelers to life on land, beginning the evolution of tetrapods.
Recently, when a basement I was living in, flooded, I imagined marine creatures moving in, and attempting a new tetrapod evolution using all the stuff in the basement.
This is a work in progress. This is a sketch of a procession of the ceramics.
