Sub Terra

Sub Terra, a multiple platform installation performs the long percolation of geologic time through a series of water catchments, filters, and both accreted and eroded matter. Cast concrete elements resembling stalagmites, lunar surfaces and fossils act as imprints of aggregated and instantaneous time. Conceived as a slow fountain, the piece cycles not only water but particulate minerals into the earth. Set on a stepped scaffolding suggestive of stone quarry cut patterns, Sub Terra poetically diagrams planetary time.

‘Chronos Cosmos: Deep Time, Open Space’ transforms Socrates Sculpture Park into a gateway to the universe, presenting artworks that consider space, time, and matter in relationship to celestial entities and earth-bound processes. In the open-air environment of the Long Island City waterfront park, the exhibition uses scale to put the universe in context, creating connection points to space and time.
