Materials: Anthropogenic rock (copper slag waste), pewter, a fragment of ancient raised pebble beach, ice (no longer present)
There are four materials in this piece, all carefully chosen for their own individual stories.
When brought together in a particular way, however, their dialogue intensifies.
My creative process aligns modern industrial with ancient nature to reflect our current global warming predicament.
Pobbles Bay, Gower. Photo taken from the ancient raised beach some 5-7m higher than today’s sea level.
Ancient raised pebble beach (125,000 years old!)
Granite is not native here, could it have arrived on the ice? Interesting to see it side by side with a piece of copper slag.
