Chronoliths

The implacable, barely imaginable stones of the European Neolithic have long haunted my thinking about the intersections of material culture, ideas, and time. Around them cluster symbolic carvings, painted signs, and other traces—marks left on walls, bones, and boulders tens of thousands of years ago. Despite decades of inquiry, their meanings remain withheld, as vacant to us as the alignments at Carnac or the circles at Stonehenge.

Chronoliths takes shape within that silence. Objects made now, yet behaving as if from another time. Objects marked, but refusing to explain themselves.

We have no idea what any of this means. And yet.

An exhibition of the full Chronoliths assemblage is planned for 2026. If you’d like an update, fill in your info on the contact page, and I’ll make sure you know about it.
