02 Geologic Time Intrusion by mick douglas

The Black Range near Stawell, east of Geriwerd / the Grampians, is the result of geological processes of sedimentation, volcanic intrusion, and erosion. Millions of years of sedimentation was deposited along what was once the eastern coastline. A volcanic intrusion of hot molten rock cooled and crystallised around 400 million years ago to form granite rocks underground. Millions of years of erosion reveal the granite tors featuring in the landscape we encounter today. A small group of creative researchers from RMIT University gathered for a Geologic Time Intrusion 3-day immersive event at Untitled Station in September 2019. We explored how our creative practices might develop in relation to deep geologic time and the more than human.
