4th April 2022 University Exhibition.

We cut core samples to find the purity of rock, then sliced into sections we analyse them to discover their history, the events and occurrences that formed them. 

This piece is a representation of the past 4-5 years of my life each side is a progression of the other, the timeline snaking upward in movement.

Above are two Core Samples that were collected in the early 1980’s from the old Magpie or Mount Wellington Mine, which was located in Bissoe Valley near Truro.

Waste plastic wound to embody the colours of nature.

Waste water is a question about the impact production has on the natural environment.

As the oceans fill with plastic this work asks the question of how might our waste integrate with the natural world.

These cylinders of my time sit upon a mountain of angles, like Tetris blocks building my foundation.

Memories and emotions pull upwards, pouring like smoke from a chimney, the circular samples grow as core moments, neural pathways, layered rock.

Screens to view a progression of time, they are windows to witness the eras of my years.

This mountain is slowly rising, a stability to my growth and a reminder that after all the burdens I have carried, I am still here and I have grown strength and structure from their lessons.
