‘chalk too has its dream. of the bone, on a white ground of endless beginnings.’
(jeremy hooker, the invisible globe, matrix, soliloquies of a chalk giant – enitharmon press, 1974)

project: intervals in grey (a discontinuous sequence)
status: in progress 2022
description: flagging up the calcium cycle, the stratigraphy of the gault formation and grey chalk subgroup are mapped by colour, depth of beds, lithographic qualities. as calcifying organisms stratified foraminifera assemblages are examined.
graphic score: drawn from the mapped data and collected material colour.
sound work: tracing pieces #3 – successional
for tracing pieces #1-#2 lossenham
