About the Item: Primordial Soup is a reference to the beginning of life on earth and a call to care for the elements that allow life to continue on our fragile planet. The seeds of life mingle together in a cosmic mix of stars and exploding stars, with suggestions of planets, cells, strands of DNA, chemical symbols, literal seeds, and seeds within seeds that stare out at us as they open to new life. Primordial Soup is from the Seeds of Change series of 35 works that suggest that, if we listen, science can lead us away from environmental devastation and climate change. The ideas for preserving our fragile planet are described as “seeds of change”—ideas that can be “planted” and can grow into a better future.
