The twelve sculptures are casts of the midday shadows from each of the twelve geological time periods, directly indexed to each drawing and quite literally making the fourth dimension, three-dimensional. Made from carbon, wax and Crystacal, they give form to the negative, liminal space of shadows. They accurately record the haptic qualities of the Earth’s geology at a specific time and location, linking us to the past through the present and connecting us to something larger than ourselves.
