Rock Drawing: Molten Flow Filled Fracture

66 x 52 cm
One of the features of the meteor impact in the Vredefort dome are dark ridges of black hard rock, out of place within the surrounding geological landscape. These ridges formed from molten rock that pushed up through the fractures in the earth during the meteor collision, and have appeared as the landscape has erroded. This drawing creates a surface that mimicks the lumpy dark form of the molten rock, on a substrate of paper made from rock itself.
