Imprints of Time

‘Imprints of Time’ (2019)
Northern and Southern Plaza Ground Treatments: approx. 1000m2
9 Pebbles: Various sizes
GRC, Brass, Stainless Steel, Spotted Gum and RGB LED Lighting

Like beach pebbles on the shoreline, these works are indicative of natural objects inherent to the site and coastline that are moved, changed and imprinted in a variety of ways, both by nature and humans. These ‘pebbles’ roll through time and physical space, acquiring and expressing environmental and cultural features.

The ‘pebbles’ were created using a GRC forming process that allowed for the incorporation of inlays, imprints and sculpted patterns by hand.

Artist Karl Meyer and contributing artist Allan Sumner, Aboriginal Contemporary Arts (ACA Studios) in association with Exhibition Studios. Illustrations created in workshops with residents of Minda.
