Passing Through is a site specific in the quarry itself calling both to the contrast between rock and plaster, body and stone – but also their visual similarities. This sculptural installation is activated by the changing light throughout the day, and, like the rock itself, it darkens in the wet. It appears to be a mix of human, rock and animal, and yet is strangely ‘other’. The hands call out, from the skyline in particular, as a reminder of the human hands that worked the quarry and shaped the landscape, and as a tribute to makers in general including the group of exhibiting sculptors.
