The research began with a fascination for unearthing events too fast or slow for us to usually notice, using filmic techniques to make connections across time.

In an abandoned gully in Tout Quarry, Portland, the project sets up an ecology of dependencies between different speeds of change, which builds upon an existing sculpting infrastructure. Where sculpting often represents a desire to extend a moment, occupants learn to carve increasingly short durations, as opposed to precise moments of time. These dependencies are sculpting studios of increasing difficulty; students progress from one studio to the next, becoming more temporally acute. Over time the sculpting generates a relief map of un-noticed changes across the walls of the gullies.

The facility is partially constructed from dust as a result of the sculpting process. Forming like stalactites, the wind affects the shape of these artificial geological shells, which in turn impacts wind as it passes through. Turbulent wind flows prevent habituation, creating a slower experience of time. The consistency of laminar flow is utilised for faster durational experiences, and for ventilation.
