Time as Material
Time as Material is a meditation on the weight of Earth extraction through the technique of core drilling. The beads are made with oil shale from the Jurassic coast of England, here I collect pieces of stone that have fallen from the cliffs and been washed by the sea. There’s a lightness to this layered mudstone, which is discovered when worn. Each bead contains the data of deep-time. Such vastness becomes intimate when the wearer moves them between fingers.
