Extraction Study (composite 2), 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.
