A Medium for all the Moments Outside of Time, 2022
Audio, looped

adzing planes like waning moons is a site of connection and speculation, creating a space to communicate differently. Continuing Beau and Sadia’s exploration of the materials, means and possibilities of dialogue beyond colonial limits, the work uses a modified version of the Filipino board game Sungka - made using traditional green woodwork techniques - to consider the histories of botanical imperialism, labour, craft and language.

Surrounding this is a sound work, a narrated science-fiction short story, A Medium for all the Moments Outside of Time, about the future of language and connection, the possibility of communion and relation with other places and times.
