Teacup Trilobites

Early in 2020, I encountered some painted rocks on my daily sanity walk. They were covered in affirmations and made me smile. At the time it was scary to be around other people. These rocks felt like a connection to other scared humans. We were all in this together. I came home determined to do something similarly connecting.

Trilobites are the quintessential survivors. They survived many extinction events. They changed and adapted. They made it though so many disasters. My trilobites are painted like teacups since morning tea is an oasis of daily peace for me.

Transient, these trilobites are not intended to last forever. Rather they go on adventures in the world, meet people, make friends, and move on. Some of them have been set free to have adventures in Ontario, Quebec, Massachusetts, and the UK. Keep your eyes open and you may find one.

Trilobite sculptures are cast in hydrostone and painted with acrylic.
