Nancy Pearce is a creator of bronze artefacts that depict the ubiquitous and often-mundane items of modern life –  in other words, tangible clues about the 21st century for a future archaeologist to uncover. Her foray into bronze began as ‘a bit of a lark’ as she formed objects reflecting domestic life and unsung work like cleaning and caregiving – a dustpan and her son’s toys among her early pieces – but has since morphed into a serious endeavour devoted to immortalising remnants of our society.

Nancy Pearce

Los Angeles-based Nancy Pearce utilises a sand-casting method to form her design objects from solid bronze. Each piece is designed to survive not only generations, but geological time. Some moulds she makes by hand, while others, a tube of toothpaste perhaps, or a floppy disk, for example, are cast from the item itself in Pearce's bid to create trophies of the mundane.
