Layers of Time draws upon
an enduring fascination with archaeology, geology, and the traces of human
presence embedded within the landscape. Constructed through layers of
hand-painted and hand-printed repurposed ephemera, collage, acrylic paint,
inks, and dry media, the work explores the accumulation of time through both
material process and image.

The painting references geological strata, buried artefacts, standing stones,
and ancient traces concealed beneath the surface of the land. Layered forms and
fragmented markings suggest excavation and sedimentation, where histories are
partially revealed, obscured, and preserved within the surface itself. The
material construction of the work becomes analogous to archaeological process:
fragments are embedded, uncovered, interrupted, and reconfigured through
successive layers.

The use of repurposed printed materials introduces ideas of memory, erosion,
and cultural residue, allowing the painting to function simultaneously as
landscape and archive. Through texture, accumulation, and layered surfaces, the
work reflects on the ways both natural and human histories are carried within
the physical fabric of place.
