CORE 1-12

CORE-(in mining, geology) a cylindrical sample and a central portion of earth, mineral, or rock extracted from the ground by means of a corer so that the strata are undisturbed in the sample.

While carving these 12 limestone COREs, this geological material made me realize that I have carved not only a physical medium but also the result of a long period of time, hidden in ‘strata’ and persisted to carve the inside of stones in order to unearth hidden pathways within the stones, a tangible representation of time’s passage in nature.
