I laid out all my contacts like this and realised that they looked like pieces of rock or jewels, which had me thinking about geological specimens and how rocks can describe periods of time. I think in mind I had Katie Paterson's 'Fossil Necklace', made of beaded fossils spanning geological time. I LOVE this - I think I mentioned it in my essay I wrote about Paterson's work last year, and how it condenses the immense and immeasurable. The necklace is almost a metaphor.
The little numbers underneath the pairs of lenses relate to a key which I made, describing the dates when the contacts were in use e.g. May 2013 - November 2013. In my mind thre would be no real explanation of what the work is and it would be open to the viewer to decide what the objects and the dates mean together.
