Collected on Portobello beach Edinburgh circa 2010-2014. Stone 6cm x 5cm x 4cm - 114g. A rock from halfway between the top surface and the riverbed of the Grand Canyon United States of America. Collected by Anna Hawkins 2018. Rock fragment 9cm x 3cm x 4cm - 95g. Each image in this sequence is constructed from approximately 20-50 separate images. Some images are a composite of 50 images. Each 16-bit individual capture is around 600Mb x 50 this equal around 30Gb of data for one image. What you are looking at is 50 images as a singular image. There are multiple focal points. Sliced focus where the depth of field is extremely narrow and is the point from which diverging rays appear to proceed. This work has a correlation with the work of visual educationalist Gyorgy&nbsp;Kepes whose series of textbooks Education of Vision analysed how we look at the world. "In a life torn by directionless dynamics, that worships mere activity and disregard’s purpose and value, I need meaning and tranquillity.” “I suspect the ego-dominated visual exercises in personality competition. I am searching for those low-energy experiences which, in their subdued scale, allow more embracing patterns of order. I am seeking affinities between my complete moments and the patterns of my surroundings" (Gyorgy Kepes, "Comments," University of Illinois Exhibition of Contemporary American Painting Urbana, Illinois: University of Illinois, 1952], p. 202.)

It was named after the nearest town: Gibeon. The meteorite was discovered by the Nama people and used by them to make tools and weapons, including heads for their assegais. The triangular pattern in the texture of iron-nickel meteorites, called the Widmanstätten pattern, formed more than 4.5 billion years ago as the metal cooled. One iron-nickel mineral, kamacite, formed thin layers along the surface of crystals of another, taenite, which contains less nickel.”Meteorites are the principal source of extra-terrestrial off world material. Shattering on impact with earth meteorite fragments are epic recordings of time. They lock time at enormous intervals. They give us clues about the deep space humans inhabit. When I held the Gibeon meteorite fragment in my hands for the first time in 2013, the Widmanstätten pattern presented like organised code we have yet to decipher.&nbsp;Probability suggests these are amongst the oldest sequences of patterns we have on this planet. The Gibeon patterns have a spatial composition suggesting a three dimensional view of a grid or cube like structure. It looks like a complex schematic drawing where we can view multiple data layers. Early Sumerian tablets and other ancient mark making languages are very abstract in their composition and have been interpreted. “William Burroughs wrote, “language is a virus from outer space.” This is a thought-provoking image. Like a virus, a particular language is not part of the host's own genome, but it uses the host to spread itself.” These images are composites of nine macro images. There are three separate images two are focus stacked the other is a collage of nine separate macro details. The sequence of meteorite details have been processed using various software tools with a focus on delineating the pattern. My further aim is to break these patterns down into graphic components for printing on a larger scale. Photography Malcolm Brown 2013 and 2023.
