Like beach pebbles on the shoreline, the ‘Imprints of Time’ public artworks are indicative of natural objects inherent to the site and coastline that are moved, changed and imprinted in a variety of ways by both nature and humans. These ‘pebbles’ roll through time and physical space acquiring and expressing environmental and cultural features.

The ‘pebbles’ were created using a GRC forming process that allowed for the incorporation of inlays, imprints and sculpted patterns by hand.

Artist Karl Meyer and contributing artist Allan Sumner, Aboriginal Contemporary Arts (ACA Studios) in association with Exhibition Studios. Illustrations created in workshops with residents of Minda.
