A gallery wall is excavated
in the manner of an
archaeological dig. The
‘excavated site’ itself
becomes an ‘artefact’ when
it is moved to an outdoor
site to be investigated and
displayed. The original grid
of the ‘artefact’ shifts and
transforms in its outdoor site,
the changes dictated by the
elements of four full seasons.
Viewed from the perspective
of an aerial, the ‘artefact’
again becomes a ‘site’,
reminiscent of modern-day
human settlement patterns
and their interactions with the
landscape. As nature plays its
course, the grid collapses and
disappears, the foundations
shift, and eventually the
surface washes away.
