Mammoth
Rising seas are rapidly eroding the Norfolk coastline, uncovering mammoth fossils from the last great warming period. Michael carried fragments of a mammoth tooth from Norfolk to the Marshall Islands and swam to the centre of the eight mile-wide Bravo Crater, formed by the 1954 Castle Bravo nuclear explosion, where he released the tooth.
Mammoth connects two epochs: the Holocene and the Anthropocene, and two landscapes shaped by climate change and human violence. It asks us to consider deep time, sudden transformation, and the fragile link between past extinctions and our uncertain future.
