The second large-scale installation by EARTH BABIES (myself and Katie Bernstein), the H.H. Hopler Archive is devoted to the Deep Earth researcher and explorer Henrietta Hopler. Comprised of a functional mini-museum, diorama, and sound recordings, the Archive was built as part of Spaceness 2019 in Seaview WA.
