​​

LOCUS SOLUS  is a speculation on the post-organic stage of our planetary timeline. Volcanic gravel in the configuration of an evaporated ocean floor, the fragile spectres leaking from the cracks of a liquid crystal display, copper crystals taking over touchscreen devices, the glitchy crackle of a geiger counter — contextually charged matter transformed by imagined geological entropy and the indisputable touch of the proverbial human hand.

​

Referring to a ‘unique’ or ‘solitary’ place, LOCUS SOLUS quietly exposes how far our current exploitation of the Earth’s resources might ripple through an uncertain future, inviting macrospective reflection through direct sensory references to the geopolitical conditions of our extended present.

​

This is a body of work which incorporates three distinct projects — Amorphic Sequence of a Place in Time (2024), Occam's Razor (2024), and TRISTESSE (Fallout at the Soft Rocks) (2024).  They are seen here exhibited in tandem during the Royal College of Art's 2024 Graduate Exhibition (RCA2024) at RCA Battersea.
