GUIDELINES FOR THE CURATION OF GEOLOGICAL MATERIALS
MICROSCOPIC PRINTS

Unbounded, Group Show at Eden Project, Cornwall curated by FieldNotes and Eden Project, 2019-2020

Guideline for the Curation of Geological Materials, 2013 - 2019. 
Rocks, fired clay, glaze, soap, pewter, wire, thread, granite, iron ore, plastic, china clay waste,
industrial by-products.

This collection is the result of seven years of collecting, experimenting, manipulating and firing found materials and ceramic ingredients. The resulting miscellany of specimens are both geological and manmade, part rock, part sculpture, part sample. Together they create a reference library which raises more questions about classification than answers.





Microscopic prints, 2018
C-Type Print

During time spent as an artist in residence at the Eden Project in 2018, I studied sands, silts, clays and manmade matter at microscopic levels. These photographs are of 1mm fragments found on a paths near Whitemoor, St Austell.
It is a new type of manmade material, unidentifiable due to the complexity of it's making. Our inability to trace where it has come from demonstrates the sheer scale of new manmade materials that are coming into being through human activity.
