An Anthropogenic Table of Elements

A commission from the University of Toronto Press for wonderful Science and Society colleague Courtney Addison. Such fun to revisit ephemeral collage as a medium! 

An Anthropogenic Table of Elements provides a contemporary rethinking of Dmitri Mendeleev’s periodic table of elements, bringing together ’elemental’ stories to reflect on everyday life in the Anthropocene. 

The collaged illustrations pick up a theme from each of the essays, interpreting them in a playful, encoded way.
