Daniel Arsham's Eroded Series is a captivating exploration of time, memory, and the impermanence of human artefacts. This body of work features everyday objects, cultural icons, and architectural elements transformed into sculptural forms that appear aged, weathered, or partially eroded. Crafted from materials like quartz, volcanic ash, and plaster, these pieces mimic archaeological relics, suggesting a speculative future where contemporary items are rediscovered as fossils. The series includes everything from electronics and sports memorabilia to classical sculptures, bridging the gap between past and present. Arsham’s meticulous craftsmanship and conceptual depth invite viewers to contemplate the lifecycle of material culture and the fleeting nature of human achievement.
This work, a replica of Arsham’s earlier Blue Calcite Hat from 2016, continues his exploration of objects that symbolize cultural identity, reimagined as future relics.
