The road ends but its vestiges persist for now, a relic of an earlier iteration of human industry. A reminder that in time, all roads end.Roads End, Bathhttps://carolinedemauriac.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/8d263-demauriac_caroline_beyond-the-anthropocene_9.jpgUnder Blue Skies, Portland - Often images in the project captured my attention because of the color pop. The blue metal structure felt like a sky stand-in at this derelict end of the working wharf strewn with bits of structural detritus, operational infrastructure, and nature’s resilient attempt to reclaim a bit of its rightful footprint.Under Blue Skies, Portlandhttps://carolinedemauriac.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/efa98-demauriac_caroline_beyond-the-anthropocene_8.jpgHuman Necessity, Portland - The backside of a wharf-side seafood market that touts its wild caught sustainability practices. The supporting infrastructure may or may not be able to hold to the same claims.Human Necessity, Portlandhttps://carolinedemauriac.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/ff913-demauriac_caroline_beyond-the-anthropocene_7.jpgTanks vs Trees, Portland - A landscape that elicits a false sense of compatibility between human land use and the presence of natural features.Tanks vs Trees, Portlandhttps://carolinedemauriac.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/d5764-demauriac_caroline_beyond-the-anthropocene_6.jpg#2 Fuel Oil, Auburn - Here fossil fuel is palatably packaged, to enhance the landscape with a joyful presentation ironically suggestive of Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’.#2 Fuel Oil, Auburnhttps://carolinedemauriac.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/7c63d-demauriac_caroline_beyond-the-anthropocene_5.jpgSun’s Energy, Auburn - These storage tanks gleam ironically in the sun, a source of energy which cannot be depleted.Sun’s Energy, Auburnhttps://carolinedemauriac.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/c3c9d-demauriac_caroline_beyond-the-anthropocene_4.jpgIt’s a Trap, Portland - Lobster traps stacked on Widgery Wharf are emblematic of an economic main stay of the local fishery industries, but it’s also a trap that impacts the potential resilience of lobster populations in the long-term due climate change and intermittent periods of overfishing. The procurement practices also affect the survival of the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale.It’s a Trap, Portlandhttps://carolinedemauriac.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/bece1-demauriac_caroline_beyond-the-anthropocene_3.jpgFoot and Fin, Portland - Fishing shacks line the Portland Waterfront Historic District’s Widgery Wharf. This particular shack, bold with color and amorphous shapes, stark in its accoutrements and immediate environs, presents an ambiance that suggests an intersection between a current surrealism and future dystopia.Foot and Fin, Portlandhttps://carolinedemauriac.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/fb695-demauriac_caroline_beyond-the-anthropocene_2-1.jpgDuck Pond Lockdown, Lewiston - The function of this soundly secured bit of water management infrastructure is not entirely clear. An effort has been made to blend it in with the adjacent marsh grasses surrounding this artificial duck pond installation.Duck Pond Lockdown, Lewistonhttps://carolinedemauriac.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/09eb2-demauriac_caroline_beyond-the-anthropocene_1.jpgLife Source Harness, Lisbon Falls - Dams across the nation that manage water flow, and its distribution, are a necessity of modern civilization. What will become of them once we are no longer adding or maintaining such infrastructure?Life Source Harness, Lisbon Falls2025-05-31T15:11:56+00:00weekly0.6https://carolinedemauriac.com/folio/assemblage/2025-05-31T15:10:58+00:00weekly0.6https://carolinedemauriac.com/contact-3/2025-05-31T14:18:04+00:00weekly0.6https://carolinedemauriac.comdaily1.02026-02-20T00:14:17+00:00
