Eye of the Storm focuses upon geological activity and phenomena through engagement with our understanding of time. I am interested in the changeable nature of landmass, historical events and their interconnection to deep time. My practice draws on making the invisible visible, by creating a tangible response to forces that are not immediately apparent, allowing me to map imperceptible movements of the Earth, subtly manifesting links to both physical locations and to particular moments in time. I developed a body of research which took me to Iceland where I studied the diverse volcanic and glacial environments. The experience of working on site with an active volcano and scientific expeditions to the core, felt like travelling to the centre of the earth.
