Open Viewing of Erika Cann's final sculptural work inspired by the geological past and future of Paignton, exploring the boundaries between geology and human, and natural and man-made.

Erika is our Artist in Residence this September, responding to the theme of Deep Time. Erika explores the relationship between bodies and geology, through her own body as a rock climber, and the more-than-human bodies we see in the landscape. Erika works across photography, printmaking and sculpture, to understand and re-create forms and processes within geology. Plaster imitates the formation of stalactites, print emulates the pressure and layering of fossilisation, and the photographic surface acts as a slice of time through the bedrock. Based in Devon, her work references local geological landscapes, from ancient granite tors, to the ever-changing Jurassic coast, to hidden lava flows beneath our cities.
