George Bolster is interested in the idea of the Anthropause, which is what a lot of scientists are referring to as this period of human downtime during the Covid 19 pandemic. The stratopause (formerly mesopeak) is the level of the atmosphere which is the boundary between two layers: the stratosphere and the mesosphere, like the concept of the Anthropause, this layer in our atmosphere is a pause, a break and an opportunity to reset.
Through jacquard tapestry Textiles, Bolster explores the philosophical implications of our finding life on other planets and imagines how such an encounter could induce a restructuring of the current human trajectory.
