Sunday Stones (2023 – 2026) is an ever-increasing collection of bio-concrete castings, featuring everyday objects, broken tools, rocks, and bricks reproduced in an aggregate formed from kitchen and studio waste–eggshells, coffee grounds, sand, gelatin, cornstarch, mixed with contaminated city river water and exhausted textile dyes.  Through this project, I seek to understand the collisions between human bodies, industrial histories, and geology, seen through the microcosm of my own kitchen, studio, and body.

This series is compelled by the geologic phenomenon of Sunday Stones, a sedimentary rock discovered lining the interiors of pipes in 19thc British coal mines. These stones featured regular black lines, offering a mineral calendar record of human mining operations. Sunday Stones inform how I consider my own castings as geologic objects which record time, labor, and consumption.
