Cait Finley is an American artist working in Montana. Their work is about the differences between human perceptions of time, and geological time. Using sculpture, writing, video, and performance, to fantasize kinships with entities much larger and more nebulous herself. Preferring to think of things like petroleum, capitalism, and global warming as entities in order to see more clearly how they fit into human narrative timelines. And exploring the ways humans attempt to speed up and slow down geological time to more comfortably align with our corporeal, fleeting understanding of being.
