Adam Fuss: Theia
In a series of prints, Fuss considers Theia, the name given to a hypothetical planet that may have violently crashed into the Earth billions of years ago, ejecting the debris which formed our moon. Theia is also the Greek goddess of sight, prophecy, and brilliance, who is thought to endow gems and gold with their visible glimmer and intrinsic value.
