Built on a shared interest in human-Earth relationships, the indexical nature of rock materials and the cognitive challenge of geologic time, the collaborative practice of Meghan Price and Suzanne Nacha develops methodologies for engaging geologic sites. Employing their combined expertise in textiles, sculpture, painting and geology, they mine the earth sciences for ‘signs’ that hold the potential to connect human experience to the physical Earth.
Video still from Hand Shadows, 2020, HD video, 2-minute loop projected on wall-mounted granite
Hand Shadows is a two-minute video loop projected onto a wall-mounted granite slab. The video shows the shadow of a hand entering and exiting the frame. Mica flakes in the granite subtly glitter in the light of the projector. A fly makes a brief appearance. This video brings into the gallery a universal experience of being human on Earth. The simple act of observing one’s shadow is foundational to how we position ourselves in relation to this planet.
