GEOLIFE

GEOLIFE, Onyx

from Xiamen to Mount Martha

‘geolife explores the contrast between the brutal mass and weight of the stone block, and the sensitivity of its grain, the visible strata and its crystalline nature. The worked block reveals the geological markers reflected in the exposed layers and the softly shifting tones of ice-like translucent stone. The carving, deep into the block, exposes an interpretation of some kind of imagined terrain. A sculpted series of undulations in petrified layers of time.
