The Fleeting serves as a prologue to inaugurate a joint project between Ilana Halperin and myself. We have spent several weeks living and working on the island of North Uist looking at how both geological and human events are recorded through ephemeral actions. As evidence of time is central within each of our practice, the Uists have proved an ideal field site to deepen their investigations through encountering distant geology – where each band is a record of a physical and instantaneous event; where amalgamated objects from as far afield as Hiroshima inhabit garage windows en route to Kildonan Museum, serving as testimony both to the events of 1945 and mirroring the geological processes which formed the landscape – melting and reforming. Geology and human time alongside each other. The exhibition in gallery one introduces our work and sets the tone for a newly commissioned publication to be published in the autumn by Taigh Chearsabhagh. Running concurrently to our exhibition, French artist Jocelyn Cottencin is showing 'Real Escape' in Studio 1.



This work is part of the series Ground Temperature: 3000 degrees celsius.

The drawings investigate several objects observed at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum drawn from different angles and overlapped in an attempt to understand the Hiroshima bombing through a drawing process.



A projection of early morning in Hiroshima Peace Park during Sakura week is shown on the plinth.
