how to extend infinity

Plaster, sea water, freshwater

Walking along chalk cliffs, I found myself captivated by the coastline's fractal nature—a geometry that renders its true length immeasurable. This observation sparked a question: What does it mean to create a sculpture that doesn't exist at a specific point in space?

I cast sections of the cliff using calcium carbonate mixed with seawater, creating extensions indistinguishable from the original landscape. The sculpture "hides" within the fractal form itself—not located at my intervention but theoretically present throughout the entire coastline.

Seawater produced different crystal structures than freshwater, yielding calcite with double-refraction properties that optically doubled any image viewed through it—a material quality mirroring my conceptual exploration of infinity and fractal geometry.
