about

Rock Album vol. 1 was a commissioned artwork for the Biennale of Sydney NIRIN 2020. It is a series of sound works that explore deep time, extractivism and mineral medicine among other rock related themes. Set to an ambient soundtrack each of these spoken word pieces collapses scientific, industrial, philosophical, spiritual and informal knowledge practices into new mineralogical arrangements.

The album explores the presence of minerals in our daily environments and their profound but often unacknowledged effect on our experiences. The project maps the physical structures, geographies and biological effects of minerals, showing how they work as the invisible building blocks of our bodies and technologies. Rock Album (Overburden) represents a geological dig across a physical-metaphorical spectrum connecting and rupturing familiar meanings and assumptions. This approach encourages a non-linear encounter with crystal formations from the past, present and future to better contemplate our human interactions with these earthly deposits.
