Surfacing

Settled on the opening mouth of an estuary at the foothills of a mountain, the placement of the city of Hobart takes form in response to the rhythm of the earth’s crust. The multitudes of life forms, accumulations of matter and vital forces harden, fold, become buried, get pushed to the surface and become engaged in new entanglements. The milieu of Hobart, Tasmania, is developed from the foundations of a deeper, older space, the earth, which has a continual presence, a material, physical hum in the background.
