Join us for the opening of One Million Marks by Chauncey Flay, April 13, 5.30pm.
It all started with the question, “What is infinity?” Which evolved into a process of making one million marks – a full year of work for artist, Chauncey Flay.
Using handmade paint from grinding stone into pigment, the mark-making itself began to deconstruct time, testing Flay’s physical and mental stamina alongside notions of how we might value labour in artistic practise.
There are one hundred stones (with provenance of both place and time), all from the Te Wai Pounamu, and each shaped, crafted into form and sold with a bound book of individual marks.
