Rocks record ancient geological events, ice preserves traces of past atmospheres, and materials can retain structural changes caused by heat, pressure, radiation, or physical stress. At the atomic level, interactions can permanently alter the arrangement and properties of matter, leaving physical traces of earlier conditions. In astronomy, meteorites and ancient planetary material preserve information about environments that existed during the formation of the Solar System billions of years ago. Matter can therefore function as a kind of physical archive, carrying evidence of events long after those events have ended.
Framing Note: Frames are selected by the artist and are included primarily to protect the artwork during handling and transit. Collectors are welcome to reframe the artwork after receipt according to their personal preference.
