Survey
First exhibited - ‘Surface Detail’
November 2015
The Survey series, like Subsurface Travelogues, imagines a kind of subterranean scanning—cross-sections through layers of rock, pockets of gas and water, and traces of ambiguous or man-made forms. These works evoke spectrographic or geophysical imaging pushed to the very edge of technological resolution, where what is revealed hovers just beyond certainty.
The information presented feels precise, even scientific, yet remains insufficient to fully decode. This tension between clarity and ambiguity underscores the difficulties of probing deep time, distant spaces, and the unseen layers beneath the surface. As with much of my work, Survey explores the limits of perception and the partial nature of knowledge in our ongoing search for origins.
