In the elements of stone and water, the guiding elements of this show, two distinct forms of temporal expression can be discerned. Time can be read within a stone: in the layers accumulated over decades and centuries, in the movement of matter, and in the marks left by erosion. Geologists therefore describe stones not as nouns, but as verbs, as their forms are never simply given, but are constantly transformed. A stone is not a timeless object that simply outlasts time, but a bearer of deep time, in which traces of what came before remain present within what we see now. Water seems to offer an almost opposite expression of time. It flows, is constantly in motion, and resists being held in a fixed form. As it moves, it carries the earth with it, slowly eroding whatever it encounters and carving its path through the landscape. A single passage can cleanse, carry away, and erase; yet through its continual return, water also inscribes its movement into the matter it touches. The riverbed, the ravine, the smallest stone shaped by its flow, all bear witness to a presence that has long since passed.
