An invitation to rethink materiality—not as ownership, but as relation, as entwinement, as a call to sustain, to erode, to return.
Rocks are never just rocks. They are stories of erosion and crystallization, of fire and pressure, of time bending and stretching beyond human comprehension. New Rocks translates this slow, lithic language into a series of objects—vases, fountains, table-jewels—hybrids of old and new, functional and non-functional, human and more-than-human. By binding quarried residues with mycelium and other regenerative materials, these forms do not simply imitate natural processes; they participate in them. These are not static artifacts but restless collaborators, always on the edge of dissolution, breaking down and feeding the earth, returning to the sedimented commons.
In the quiet power of rocky landscapes, where cliffs rise like time made solid, there is something mythic—a whisper of deep entanglements, of epochs layered upon each other. In the making of New Rocks, we do not separate ourselves from this process but embed ourselves in it. The rock becomes table, the table becomes earth, the earth becomes rock again. It is a cycle, a refusal of waste, an act of care.
To make kin with stone is to embrace impermanence, to recognize the agency of the inanimate, to unlearn extractivist habits.
