We Who Sit But Cannot Sit Still

136 handmade concrete tiles have been sensitised with photographic chemistry. Over the course of a 2 month exhibition, the artist maintained the artwork with constant humidity of aforementioned chemicals. Over time, the works began to crystallise - allowing landscapes to materialise.

Spivak has spent the last three years exploring the alchemical reactions of the 18th century, specifically silver’s relationship with glass.
