They also appear in more intimate collaged work, with layers of pierced and cut-through forms, creating multi-dimensional environments. Negative space is central to our work and most often features as shadow or aperture. Like adder stones they reveal new connections between distant objects through which an isolated detail, gesture, or landscape can be seen anew.<\/p><p>The opportunity of a live event allows us to \u2018re-story\u2019 our connection with mineralogy specimens through a direct, physical engagement with the Manchester Museum erratic. In conversation with Dr David Gelsthorpe, specialist in palaeontology and historical geology, we will situate the erratic as a marker of deep time, bridging both geological time and human action. It is between these two registers of <em>knowing<\/em> that Manchester\u2019s glacial erratic provides a genealogical and geological link with our interest in deep time and unstable landscapes, in dialogue with Kircher\u2019s scientific representations of the earth\u2019s volcanic innards and speculative imaginings of the sun\u2019s erupting surface.<\/p><p>Revisiting our interest in artistic \u2018care\u2019, linked to 3D\/4D scanning and conservation methods, we\u00a0 wrapped the erratic, dredged from the deep past, with silvered foil to make a reflective occlusion in the museum, and ask how can forms of gesture and touch address the erratics in their resting place?
