I grew up surrounded by clear natural scenery. The earth, the sky, the universe and the transparency that fills the space between them seem to take the form of endless time and space. I have been thinking about our sensing of such distant time and space through both sculpture and geology. This is because both have the property of considering time and space through actual objects.

When geologists talk about geology, their words sound as if they are not from human. There, the earth moves slowly over tens of thousands and hundreds of millions of years, and events inside and on the surface of the earth are connected. Here is a transcendental gaze, far beyond the human time-space scale. But these events, spelt out in geological terms, are understood on the basis of natural science and deviate greatly from our everyday senses. We feel there is a void there that cannot be filled.

Geologists write papers to give an overall picture of space-time as they see it through their research. The emphasis is on data, data-based reasoning and reproducibility, rather than the individual view and feeling of each geologist. On the other hand, in order to grasp the whole picture of time and space, geologists go through a process of fieldwork, sample collection, sample processing and measurement, which involves the their body and senses. Therefore, by incorporating these process into my production method, I seek a geological engagement with the actual objects such as exposed stones and strata, and approach the far beyond time and space they contain. From these practices, I try to look for clues to sense events beyond the human spatio-temporal scale.
