My fascination with Geology began in 5th grade when Bill Nye taught me about rocks and soil during S03E04, which was aptly titled "Rocks & Soil." I'll admit I didn't give two hoots about either one up until that point, viewing them as nothing more than parts of the Earth. It wasn't until Bill Nye gave me the whole spiel in his fancy goggles and clay tarnished lab coat did I realize he was onto something when he exclaimed to no-one in particular, "Rocks rock!" The collage above is one of several creative byproducts of attempting to channel the wonder Bill Nye instilled in me years ago. While abstract in nature, "Strata" aims to mimic ways in which various layers of sediment are compacted over time to form a unified entity.
