Holocene'
'Holocene'
Inspired by the natural world and responding to its power, its fragility and how it is affected by human development and industrialisation, Alex Duncan's major new installation portrays a possible future scenario of how the natural world may be.
Debris of the modern world - polyurethane foam pebbles - a by-product of the oil industry that the artist has collected from the coastline become monumentally enlarged to wash up on a rising sea. Duncan sees these objects as part of a rolling history, of copper smelting, coal extraction and oil refinery.
Our complicated relationship to the environment is brought under scrutiny, Duncan exposes the intertwinings of man on nature and nature on man in an uncertain future where these boulders may yet hold true and exist, washed up on a surge of environmental change.

These two decided to see if they could surf the boulder into shore!
