SAND<br />
AND<br />
GRAVEL
“THERE ARE AN AWFUL LOT OF SCIENTISTS TODAY WHO BELIEVE THAT BEFORE VERY LONG WE SHALL HAVE<br />
UNRAVELED ALL THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE. THERE WILL BE NO PUZZLES ANYMORE. TO ME, IT’D BE<br />
REALLY, REALLY TRAGIC BECAUSE I THINK ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING THINGS IS THIS FEELING OF MYSTERY,<br />
FEELING OF AWE, THE FEELING OF LOOKING AT A LITTLE LIVE THING AND BEING AMAZED BY IT AND HOW IT HAS<br />
EMERGED THROUGH THESE HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF EVOLUTION AND THERE IT IS AND IT IS PERFECT AND WHY.”<br />
— JANE GOODALL<br />
PREFACE<br />
Observation, research and understanding all hold a key part to developing a conceptual idea to a physical design and<br />
presence. <strong>Sand</strong> and <strong>Gravel</strong> is an ever developing study in the field of micropalaeontology. It aids the reconstruction of<br />
the lost nature in our current era. In the midst of reconstruction, what could be better than to tap into the source of<br />
primal nature for answers and a diagram of the untouched?<br />
This project explores a group of microfossils that reside in lake, river and the sea beds. Some microfossils are<br />
preserved by layers of sand and gravel which help determine the age of the fossils. The deeper they are, the older the<br />
microfossils would be. The natural preservation of sand became the reason I chose to work with glass to link it to its<br />
natural material. The following glass sculptures were inspired by dinoflagellates microfossils, known mostly as<br />
marine planktons found in sea beds.
