In Automotive Geologies Jason Waterhouse presents hybridised car forms in the cavernous basement space of the George Farmer Building.  The installation is accompanied by a sound scape developed in collaboration with composer Jed Palmer.

The gloss black sculptures occupy the space elusively like spectres; forms reflecting the environment making reading a slippery affair.  Presented as strange otherworldly geologies, the works also carry the style lines unmistakably of the automotive industry.

Automotive Geologies is a hybrid space, unmistakably man made, yet full of yearning to slip back into the earth.
