SCULPTURAL OBJECTS: Future Relics and Lost Bodies, 2023

Exhibited at FRIEZE No9 Cork Street Gallery, London.

Future Relics: To mimic the accumulations of moraines – rock debris, sediment, and soil carried, pushed, or deposited by glaciers as they move and melt – Emery fuses granite remnants with pure lime, a carbonation material used in traditional building. Pure Lime or also referred to as air lime, has the remarkable ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere during its production and hardening process. Once fully set, the fused lime remains chemically stable allowing the objects to continuously sequester carbon dioxide over time, potentially for decades or even centuries.
