Following my showing of the work 'Untitled (Rust)' at the Annex Gallery (part of the 'Field Notes' exhibition) I was invited to contribute work to a publication Do Rocks Remember Lava by curator Leo Hajducki (Director, Woom Room Workshops CIC). Her interdisciplinary research draws on her background in Philosophy and Politics, exploring the intersections of materiality, sound, and ecological thought.

In response to this invitation I made an eight page visual essay describing the research process around a current project 'Pauls Turn' where I had been transforming waste rust material from Anthony Caros sculpture 'Pauls Turn' (1971) into two types of ink - one for drawing and writing and the other for printing. I included in the visual essay photographs describing the research journey from harvesting waste material from the Hunterian Sculpture Courtyard where the work is displayed, to ink making, then printing.

The two final printed works are displayed in the final two pages of the visual essay: 'Pauls Turn' (a photo etching) and 'These Words' (a printed text made in the case room) face each other in conversation, referencing the original sculpture and creating a space between image and text. The image itself imitates 'Pauls Turn' but is in fact made using the print furniture from the case room - small metal 'I' beams usually used to create space between the different lines and characters going to print.
