Model Landscapes

In the third space Prpohet installed Time Slice, a crystal tree. Part of the allure of Prophets work is its inability to fit within its own prescribed ideals, on one hand she creates images of rigorously controlled landscapes whilst on the other she is allow nature to take its course. The installation Time Slice is a vitrine of liquid from which grows a crystal tree throughout the duration of the exhibition. A meter glass tank houses a delicate and tiny nylon structure submerged in a chemical liquid from which the tree chemically grown through crystallisation. The crystal tree alludes to a different notion of time, we understand that it has been growing at a rate we cannot perceive; that initially there were bare string branches which will continue to grow till it is encumbered by crystals.
