Illegible Matter

2021

Forming layers over time, rust creates a new landscape on the surface it occupies. In the natural process of material breaking down we can try to decipher history. Metal objects covered by rust become artefacts, provoking interpretation. Unfamiliar in content, it becomes like an illegible manuscript, left after humans were trying to pass on their history.
