Strata
2020-ongoing
An ongoing photographic study of the marks of time found within natural environments
Time materialised
Strata examines the visual and material traces of geological time, focusing on the surface of stone as both a site and a record. These photographs document the layered composition of rock—its fissures, striations, and mineral deposits—as evidence of long-term natural processes. Each image isolates a moment within a broader continuum, revealing how time is embedded, rather than depicted.
The work is grounded in a sustained observation of material transformation. Rather than framing landscape as vast or romantic, Strata turns its attention to the intimate scale of erosion and formation. The subject matter—weathered stone, sedimentary layering, fractured surfaces—offers a tactile reading of temporality, one rooted in process and physical structure.
