‘The works in this Lithic Fantasy pick at the skin of this atmospheric mass: accumulations of protein (milk, shell)and mineral (graphite, ceramic) collaborate with the detritus, mental and physical, of the cityscape. Georg
Simmel found in the stuff of the city – its structure of social life and its stimulating atmosphere – the alienation of theindividual from what is produced and consumed, leadingto a coldness and a hardness that benefitted economy andindustry, capital above all. Yet it is in the city, in spaces such as these, that urban life cracks and folds…A space “beyond the beyond”, where the debris of extraction, consumption and loss accumulates into new, undulating forms.’ – excerpt of text accompanying the exhibition by Eilidh Nuala Duffy
