The Time's Barrier
This series of allegorical felting needles stitch together the sky, sea and land by pivoting through the skins of each element. The three bodies are enmeshed in the sand via a process beginning with a fishing cormorant, that is tethered to the needle. The bird can fish and do nothing else, thus building up a fishy liver (to be made into Foie Gras later) and guano beneath it. The guano is mixed with the oil, cornflower, water and iron filings that fall from the Pre-ontological Chandelier (collectively known as Narcissi) into a shallow pool of sea water on the collecting plate. The needle shafts allow this material to drain through a number of vessels (anEchoic Chambers) to feed and pump through Bacillus pasteurii before being expressed as an Echo Location by the calcification of the loose sand. This (trans)literal relation however expresses itself to the world by affecting the build up and erosion of the sandbanks, thus creating new wave patterns on the skin of the sea, interfering and conversing with the waves created by the movement of the above water needle, having knowingly been created by that movement in the first place.
