Anthology of the Anthropocene, Vol. 1: Pious Subterfuge

Kris Pitzer

Sculpture, mixed media, fabrication, Philadelphia

I make art that speaks to contradiction—between beauty and waste, permanence and impermanence, reverence and ruin. My practice sits at the uncomfortable intersection of ecological anxiety, personal vulnerability, and the quiet rituals of making. Whether I’m working in glass, metal, or wood, my work is driven by an urgency to confront the systems we’re complicit in—and the ones we create inside ourselves.
