You Have To Give These Things Time To Settle


YOU HAVE TO GIVE THESE THINGS TIME TO SETTLE, 2021. Crushed and graded salt  (livestock salt licks) 300cmL x 20cmW.

  

This work is a three metre long stretch of salt from one wall to the other, with the size of the salt pieces beginning as large blocks at one end and progressing to fine powder at the other. The body is an instrument in the work– the work is dormant until the body arrives.

YOU HAVE TO GIVE THESE THINGS TIME TO SETTLE is an approach to the natural processes of erosion, and the human implications in this, where those viewing it can meet an environmental issue at its level, so to speak.
