Tectonic Trace - Binary #8
Kiln formed glass
118 H x 87.5 W x 4 D cm
This work depicts the evolution of a familiar landscape over a geologic timeline. It explores various developments of progress, decay and renewal.
Throughout the making process I have concentrated on the idea of perpetuity where the connection of techniques, rhythm and colour reveal the pattern of survival.
