Infinite in time and space, the recycling and resurfacing matter of our planet creates sentient beings time and again. In the ground below our feet, geological underworlds offer a space to consider a shared planetary consciousness: the sentient and non-sentient; organic and mineral; the living, dead and those of the future. Sophie J Williamson explores entangled ancestral voices amongst ever-turning geological matter. Reading deep-time narratives secreted amongst the permafrost, geological strata and celestial dust of outer space, how might our dialogues with deep-time redirect our futures?


Submerged Landscapes
Project Preview


From January 2021 to May 2021, I was commissioned by Mural and The Mozilla Foundation to produce a new series “Submerged Landscapes”. This video shows a preview of the entire project, which will be launched on the Mural website in Summer 2021.

According to the Climate Central app, Thanet, UK is likely to become an island again within the next decade. Submerged Landscapes documents the affected areas before they are submerged, using the materiality of the sea within the production of the work. I am looking forward to sharing more results from this project with you soon!
