Katie Paterson’s new work, Endling, is a one meter diameter circle divided into one hundred sections, each painted with an era of existence. To create each color, fossilized remnants from throughout life’s history are crushed and dissolved into pale watercolor paint and applied to paper. Moving clockwise from 12 o’clock, the segments move from earliest life on earth to more recent, working through all eras of life and major extinctions to present day.
