Diatomaceous Earth (Celite #110) 

Editor: So, here we have *Diatomaceous Earth (Celite #110)* by Johns-Manville Corp. It seems to be a sample of the material itself, alongside a swatch showing it with and without linseed oil. It's strangely compelling. What do you make of it? Curator: It's the quiet subversion that gets me. Imagine elevating an industrial material—essentially fossilized algae—to art. It’s like finding beauty in the mundane, the echoes of ancient life in a manufactured product. Is it beautiful or just… interesting? Editor: I think both! It definitely makes you think. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure!
