Description

The piece is a part of the artist’s series, “Time Capsules”.

Description from Olson’s web site: “These sculptures, often exhibited in site-specific assemblages resembling landfills or garbage piles, are endangered units of time otherwise destined for burial, but instead rescued, taken out of circulation, and painted gold (Fort Knox-style) in reclamation of their value.”
