No Time of Deep Time, 4k UHD, 9min, 2025
If we could witness the Earth across deep time, the ground beneath our feet would oscillate, revealing the dynamic nature of our planet—what feels permanent to us is actually in constant flux when viewed on the geological timescale.
No Time of Deep Time explores Michigan's Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in the Upper Peninsula as a site of geological deep time. I use custom software to transform audio waves into complex patterns that weave and cut across vantage points of the site, exploring the aged relationships between water and rock. A contemplation of imperceptible movements that have shaped these iconic sandstone cliffs over 500 million years.
The images work as metaphors to visualize geological processes, that reveal hidden rhythms in what appears static. Patterns that seek to feel erosion, sedimentation, and metamorphosis—processes that continue unabated beyond human perception.
