Description: An interview with Barbara Page, painter of "Rock of Ages, Sands of Time" a 544-panel installation at the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY.
Interview with Barbara Page, Rock of Ages, Sands of Time How did you happen upon the idea for I've been intrigued by our perception of the passage of time since childhood . . .why was recess always so short? Figuring out how to transform this concept into imagery was often in the back of my mind as I worked on different projects in the studio. It so happened that geological references were cropping up in my paintings. At some point I made a mental leap from rocks to fossils and realized that the antiquity of a particular specimen could provide the structure for a piece about time. Each fossil could be arranged in a chronological sequence beginning with the origin of visible life. I would make a series of panels, each of which would represent the passage of one million years, and put the fossil images in their proper slot.
