The Strata of Things transports fragments of a disused quarry to Threshold Gallery in Leeds.

Engaging with the quarry as a site of extraction, The Strata of Things is a reminder that the fabric of the red brick and stone houses in Leeds originates from the earth.

The laboured repetition of cutting into the imagery echoes geological and extractive forces; sediment is layered over slow time before it is systematically carved away to be architecturally stratified elsewhere.
