Approximately 20000 years ago, as the Laurentide Ice Sheet began to recede across North America, it nearly erased all traces of the terrain it traversed, including certain irregularities in the prehistoric landscape. This was followed by massive flooding and subsequent retreat, until the surface materials resettled through buoyancy, forming fertile black soil.
大约 2 万年前，当劳伦泰德冰盖开始在北美消退时，它（几乎）抹去了其移动轨迹上所触碰的一切，包括某种史前地形的不均匀性。紧随其后的是大规模的涨水与消退，直至地表物经浮力再次沉淀，形成富有营养的黑土。
This set of material experiments reimagines that period of climatic history, revealing the past materiality of the Drowned Lands through geological model and papermaking process. In the current context of rapid climate change, the experiment offers a tangible pathway to comprehend the process of large-scale deglaciation through embodied experience.
这组材料实验再次想象了那段气候史，将北美大淹地曾经的材质感，以地质模型和纸张制作的方式予以展现。 在人类再次面临气候快速变化的当下，实验提供了一条认知大规模冰川消融历程的体感路径。
