/‘A SEA OF CHALK is an immersive installation inspired by the Cocking Lime Works chalk quarry in the South Downs, West Sussex. The work reimagines conventional modes of thought through the lens of Édouard Glissant’s concept of Archipelagic Thought, engaging with this post-industrial landscape as a site of layered meaning. By navigating individual and interconnected “islands” of ideas, the project offers a multidisciplinary and nuanced reflection on a largely forgotten heritage. Blending environmental, historical, and philosophical perspectives, it invites viewers to reconsider not only the quarry’s legacy but also the ways in which we think, connect, and imagine.
