The columns stand as core samples, exposing the rich tapestry of earth underneath our feet. Mineral layers formed over millions of years - folding, faulting and metamorphosing from the weight of one another. The artwork reconstitutes geological layers, using recycled terracotta clay, quartzite and slate gravel within pigmented cement stabilized sediments imitating the unique geology of the Sydney Basin.
