Textures of time: landscape architecture. Work in progress..

"The Strata of the earth is a jumbled museum. Embedded in the sediment is a text that contains limits and boundaries which evade the rational order, and social structures which confine art. In order to read the rocks we must become conscious of geologic time, and the layers of prehistoric material that is entombed in the earths crust." (Robert Smithson. 'A Sedimentation of the Mind: Earth Projects 1968'.)

'Textures of time: landscape architecture' is an investigation of the exposed surfaces created through mineral extraction at key localities around Sussex.' [READ PROJECT STATEMENT AND ESSAY BY JOHN COOPER...]
