Time Tunnels – Exploring eruptions, glaciers and fossils

Time Tunnels: Exploring eruptions, glaciers and fossils

Artist talk w/ Hannah Hallam-Eames
Time Tunnels, 9 August – 14 September, Outer Space

Join us for an artist talk with Hannah Hallam-Eames, charting the field research and experimental processes that inform her tectonic offering, Time Tunnels.

About the exhibition

Time Tunnels is an immersive sculptural installation where volcanic mineral deposits, radiolarian fossils, dripping water, cast metal and carved stone become a sulfuric subterranean cave.

This exhibition is the outcome of five years of remote field research into unstable terrain around the world across glaciers, volcanoes and crude oil wells. From eruptions in Iceland, to glaciers in Aotearoa, the project has culminated near Meanjin, to explore ancient radiolarian deposits from a time when the Tweed Valley was a singular shield volcano.

About the artist⁠

Hannah Hallam-Eames is an artist, bushland regenerator and independent researcher. Her practice explores the radical instability of the ground, in particular; crude oil wells, glaciers, and volcanoes. This research encompasses immersive installations, born from meticulous field and laboratory research conducted within environments where solid geological terrains transition rapidly into liquid states.
