In a way, all of them are related,

one deep root in our common ground

ROUGH MATERIAL

SHAPES, TEXTURE

 

"That additive and subtractive topography-forming

processes are so commensurate is one of Earth’s

extraordinary attributes. The landscape of other rocky

planets and moons look alien precisely because these

worlds lack such a balance in the rates of creative and

destructive topographic agents.[…]

However, life itself can alter the processes that shape

topography: there is strong evidence that colonisation of 

land by plants in early Silurian time slowed global erosion 

rates and led to the emergence of rivers with well-defined

channels. (It has taken humans only a few centuries to

reverse that trend; by some estimates, modern erosion

rates—accelerated by deforestation, agriculture, desertification,

and urbanisation—are orders of magnitude higher than

geologic averages.)" —MARCIA BJORNERUD / TIMEFULLNESS

The island

 

 

—

unlike anything else

 

"This was impressive enough, but the accompanying noise

was unlike anything else I have ever heard. It was a siren,

a blizzard and a wailing child all at once - an animal really -

and it was followed by a sonorous chugging, like a steam

train gathering speed.”  

 

—Clive Oppenheimer, Mountains of fire

 

sketches & beautiful writing

 

 

"This revealed a remarkably regular oscillation every

six to nine hours: the volcano had a pulse." 

—

"To have reached the summit of a far-flung erupting

volcano, to see my footprints in pristine cinereous powder

that a day before had been viscous magma in the Earth’s

interior,[...] brought a self-awareness that was new to me.

A nomadism and curiosity that still influence my career

were ignited beside this expressive, mysterious crater.

Volcanoes were now engrained in my story." [Ili Boleng]

 IN PROGRESS

 

 

—I had arrived in a pristine world that I could not have properly

imagined. Nothing felt stable; all was sterile, temporarily, shifting,

piling up, subsiding.

 

[...]The inner walls exposed layers of lava and scree tinged pink

from oxidation, or stained yellow where sulphur had condensed

around innumerable perforations in the rock.

[Clive, Oppenheimer, Mountains of Fire]
