Monsoon Assemblages
[2018]
These drawings depict the South Asian Monsoon over the Indian Subcontinent during 2016. Each is drawn through different materials relating to their temporal scales. The Summer Monsoon through land and sea, the Winter Monsoon through air and atmosphere, the Geologic Monsoon through the ground and deep-time, as well as the instruments that measure and record this data.
