A Doomed Mission to Mars Awaits Henry Wood’s Lanky Explorers

Artist Henry Wood has created a series of wooden figures depicting doomed explorers on Mars, titled 'We went to Mars and it was a disaster.' Each lanky, meticulously carved figure represents a colonist with a specific tragic history, such as being stranded or buried, imagining a future archaeological dig on the terraformed planet. The work reflects on humanity's ambitious but potentially flawed drive to colonize other worlds, using the medium of wood and ancient relic aesthetics to critique grand narratives of exploration and progress. Wood's process, influenced by travel and traditional techniques, transforms speculative science fiction into tangible artifacts that question the costs of expansion and the stories we tell about our future.
