Turning pages of semi-transparent calligraphy paper activates the slow decay and disappearance of the present as we know it, concurrently with an unveiling; either the distant past or a future to come.

Davis’ practice exploring gardening as a seasonal inscription on the surface of the earth, and her belief that the form of an artist’s book is directed by its concept is paired with Tabacco’s consideration of the way seismic events, wars or simply the passing of time alters the shape of space and place while preserving enough archaeological material to imagine what once may have been or what can be again.

Despite decades long art practices that differ in material usage, methodologies and iconography our ideas share much common ground. Our ground is the earth itself.

Moving through VERTO is moving through time.
