Extraction Study 3, 2022

The ‘extraction study’ series was created using performative drawings or ‘extracted’ marks on different fragments of stone. The marks were made using symbolic lengths of time – a ratio (minutes to days) of the time that particular stone had taken to reach the stonemason’s yard from its original place of mining and extraction.

Creating this work I was interested in the idea of using the symbolism for extraction in a durational performance to criticise the harmful extraction of stones by human hands.
