Geology

Channeling the eons, I roll out, rip, compress and reform layers of mixed clay until they look like something that took millions of years to form.  It is amazing to witness how a little more dryness will cause a stuttering of one material across another, or how a lighter material will stretch into a thin, translucent state over a darker material.  The process feels like time-lapse photography spanning millennias, and is very satisfying.
