Abigail Auld will present recent research about Tyndall stone, a local building material excavated from a 450-million-year-old body of rock. The talk will touch on geology and the connection between social and built histories, culminating in an exploration of how artists’ engagement with the stone broadens a binary sense of the material beyond simple ancient geology or architectural matter.
