It was like experiencing a fold in time, she said consisted of window covering on both sides to control the light as colour over the day. Panels where bulit hosting 3D rendered work, photographs digitially made as Rorschach on textile from miningsites also hosting videoworks on opposite side. The round hut references rain water collection architecture in the outback australia. Inside a kinetic work with a black opal and light creates a timemachine.
SiO2.n.H2O ︎ is located inside a round hut encased by a wooden slope painted in an artificial orange colour to resemble a red desert. The opal acts as a time machine producing a lightshow that makes deep time visible here in the present. It portrays the potential of life, encapsulated dormant inside, ready to awaken in the future.
