“Time could happen without rocks, but not the other way around. However, time vanishes, while rocks persist.” Marcia Bjornerud

My research aspires to interpret marks from nature, formed , created and built up over time, mimicking the balance between nature and time.

Erosion marks on the rock’s surface and within, inform the drawings I create, by balancing marks made by hand and by laser. Hand drawn marks etched by a laser marking system, on shoji paper, much like nature’s marks on the rock’s surface.

Through the mediums of photography, drawing and screen-print, I aim to map time. Each rock has a story to tell. To suggest the layers of time trapped within rocks, I examine the layering of imagery in kiln cast glass and explore colour, opacity, pattern and transparency of image.
