Highlighting the concept of the eternal and the ephemeral, the exhibition will explore time through the material history of Great Britain – charting its 3-billion-year timeline to arrive in our current age of the Anthropocene.

About

Led by her fascination for the stories stones can tell, Palmer has travelled to quarries throughout Great Britain to gather examples of our uniquely rich geological history. This search is best exemplified in her two works, The Tower and The Ring. Both trace our timeline featuring in sequence the UK’s 16 geological periods, starting with one of the world’s most ancient rocks, the 3-billion-year-old Lewisian Gneiss from the Outer Hebrides. Further stones include 2.5-billion-year-old White Anorthosite sourced in the Outer Hebrides that was also found on the Moon by the astronauts of Apollo 15 in 1971, as well as 66-milion-year-old Northern Irish Black Basalt marking the extinction of the dinosaur.
