Jill Randall
JILL RANDALL makes sculpture and installations investigating the stories and histories behind objects. Her practice investigates the nature of time through the dual preoccupations of archaeology and alchemy, and recent projects have involved collaborations with scientists and industrial processes. Randall explores the nature of time as process on material, making prints from salvaged vintage magnesium plates and copper etching plates left outside for many months in remote locations, recording the weather and the activities of animals and insects on their surfaces.
