This work is a double channel video and requires 2 x video screens mounted to the wall, as well as a synching device for the LHS and RHS footage to loop smoothly. Can Ravenswood please provide this tech? Alternatively, the work can be projected if the facilities allow for it. The images attached show both options for display as a projection or on screens.

Artist Statement
Extinction Lines examines the Permian-Triassic extinction boundary visible in Clifton, NSW. This line marks Earth’s greatest mass extinction 252 million years ago, when Gondwana’s Glossopteris forests collapsed due to intensified atmospheric carbon. Registered as a thin shale layer above the Bulli coal seam and beneath the Sea Cliff Bridge, it is situated near a trashed landscape littered with remnants of the decommissioned Jetty Coal Mine—while tourists climb above for Instagram selfies. This extinction line is a visceral remnant and conceptual-material loop between past and present epochs, testifying to climate crisis in deep time and foreshadowing the future.
