Stone Will Call You Sporadic
Sculpture
2021
Stone Will Call You Sporadic focuses on stone to probe into how the Anthropocene fits into the history of the Earth. Stone are dynamic objects that contain knowledge beyond what humans can fathom. The sculptures, resembling miniature landscapes at first glance, are stoneware that represent recording devices of the Earth. As repositories for nonlinguistic inscription, our ancient ally of knowledge-making, rocks, sand, and fossils embody deep time and inhuman forces. These fictional specimen are molded from real geological surfaces, incorporating debris of temporal fauna, flora, human and meteorological activities: rocks, gravel, petrified wood, fish bones, insect shell, soil crust, and halophytes collected from deserts, salt flats, basins, canyons, remaining World War II Army Air Forces training base, abandoned mines, and ghost towns along the road trip across the border of Utah and Nevada.
