I created The Ephemera Scrolls in St. Augustine’s Tower Hackney for the show, Reading Stones: Anne Krinsky I Carol Wyss I Susan Eyre. We each made works in response to the history and architecture of Hackney’s oldest building, a 13th century clocktower. Through our respective interests in the land, the body and the cosmos, we explored relationships between time and materiality, on four floors of the Tower. 

I incorporated photographs I had taken of the River Naab in Bavaria in 2019, during the hottest June on record, part of my project documenting vulnerable wetlands and climate change. I added in imagery of the Tower’s clock mechanism and of tombstones in the surrounding churchyard. I worked with projection, photography and digital print to design the ten printed scrolls for the Tower’s first floor.
