Pseudomorphs of a Crater (2023), Gallery 333, Exeter Phoenix
Volcanic material (stone - pigment - paint), resin climbing holds - plaster reproductions, original postcard - amended, reproductions A stone’s throw from the gallery, a volcano lies extinct. A deep rumbling envelops the space, purple basalt dots the walls of the gardens, and shadows in the landscape provide glimpses of what lurks underneath. Through research and storytelling, gathered imagery and unknown objects, this site-specific installation expands upon my investigation into the relationship between people and place, through the geology beneath our feet.
