Unearthed Artifacts Fine Art Print

Unearthed Artifacts - Fine Art Print

Field Record — Exterior Site

An artifact recovered in situ.
Encased, displaced, and recontextualized within an unfamiliar terrain.

The acrylic enclosure functions as both preservation device and barrier, separating the object from its environment while exposing it to prolonged observation.
Natural elements press in from all sides, blurring the boundary between excavation and abandonment.

This image does not document a work.
It records a moment where containment fails to fully isolate meaning.

As a print, it extends the artifact system beyond the gallery —
allowing the object to exist simultaneously as relic, image, and memory.

Dimensions: 36 × 36 inches
Materials: Hahnemühle paper, unframed

Unearthed Artifacts: Post-Cyberpunk Relics from a Forgotten Future presents a series of ceramic works that sit at the intersection of speculative archaeology and cyberpunk futurism. Vancouver-based artist Wilson Makgawinata forms these bulbous, pressure-like vessels through a hybrid process of wheel throwing and handbuilding, pushing clay beyond its familiar functions. Small modular components such as screws, plugs, and spherical nodes are slip-cast and integrated as functional-looking attachments, creating a visual language of connectors, ports, and interfaces.
