" One’s mind and the earth are in a constant state of erosion, mental rivers wear away abstract banks, brain waves undermine cliffs of thought, ideas decompose into stones of unknowing, and conceptual crystallizations break apart into deposits of gritty reason. "In 1968 Robert Smithson's explores the concept of "abstract geology," where the physical processes of the earth and the mind intersect and influence each other. He argues that both the mind and the earth are in constant state of erosion, where formations and thoughts disintegrate like geological formations. In here, drawing from Smithson's ideas, I explore series of abstract geologies.
