TIME to TIME
3 mins 56 secs 2025
'TIME to TIME' uses found stones to consider deep time—quiet nuggets of millennia, discovered when walking along the shoreline.
These objects act as touch points, contrasting the immense scale of geological history with the intimate human experience of time, the shore evoking time's horizon. As participants in this long continuum, we inevitably affect the world: sometimes with care, sometimes with harm. This work acknowledges that tension.
By gathering, tying, weaving, shaping them into a human head form and then returning the stones, the piece enacts a cycle of seeing, taking, making and giving back. It is a gesture that mirrors our own relationships with the earth. For a moment, these familiar materials are reframed as sculpture while on exhibition in the gallery, hovering over a plinth, inviting viewers to recognise the evidence of time and our place within it. 'TIME to TIME' becomes a celebration of perception—the ability to see, to know, to touch, to make, to transform, and finally to restore, as if nothing had ever changed.
