these hollow-earth fantasies attempts to grapple with the concept of deep time, fundamental aspects of our experience of time and extractive metallurgy histories. Deep time is a philosophical theory of geological time that refers to the time-scale of geologic events. These time-scales being vastly, almost unimaginably greater than the time-scale of human lives and man-made endeavours. The artwork also considers the residues on the landscape of our industrial past and by association, the effect these human interventions has had on our environment, providing material for examining the reverberations of a society driven by progress.
