Bone Nests or Three Instances of Duration and the Changes this Entail consists of a series of three small sculptures that incorporate naturally weathered rocks, bones, and sandstone, emphasising the significance of time in the processes of both creative and biological evolution. This work reflects on how duration—marked by slow, often unseen forces—shapes and transforms materials, echoing the gradual changes that occur in living organisms and artistic processes alike.

By juxtaposing these organic and mineral elements, the piece highlights the interconnectedness of life and its environment, showing how time weaves them into a continuous cycle of growth, decay, and renewal. The weathered surfaces of the rocks and bones suggest a narrative of endurance and transformation, inviting viewers to contemplate how incremental shifts accumulate over time, leading to profound changes.

The work forms part of The Absence of Alice.
