At Play in Geologic Time

 

At Play in Geologic Time is a sculpture that was created for the Vandalia, Ohio “Chiseled” Public Art sculpture symposium. Weir was competitively selected from around the US to create a monumental sculpture from Indiana Limestone on site. At Play In Geologic Time is a sculptural variation of a photographic print of Weir’s and depicts the human brain in a ‘pixilated’ state. The opposite side of the sculpture presents a theatrical stage. As a cohesive work, the stage and brain carved from the 350 Ma (million year old) sedimentary limestone are meant to invoke the geologic time scale and an evolutionary context whereas human behavior and the brain are as living fossils theatrically at play.
