    An exegesis on the artwork Coal Scores (2026).

    ‘Coal is caught up in multiple narratives of apocalypse. It is complicit in histories of lung disease and cancer in mine workers, of toxic pollution in waters and landscapes, of annihilation of ecosystems through the removal whenua for mines, and of course, through its burning, in the catastrophe of climate collapse. But none of this is Coal’s fault. As Métis scholar Zoe Todd puts it: “It is not this material drawn from deep in the earth that is violent. It is the machinations of human political-ideological entanglements … that make this … progeny a weapon.”’
