Pilgrim’s Orbit

Pilgrim’s Orbit
Sphere 1-30
30 × 30 × 30 cm
Flint, sandstone, agate, red jasper, chert, chalk, quartzite

A sphere gathered from the earth’s own pilgrimage — stones shaped by rivers, tides, and ancient sediment. Pilgrim’s Orbit holds a still rhythm of movement and memory: flints born of fire and sea, chalk ghosts of vanished oceans, jasper like blood in stone. Each surface carries the quiet trace of deep time, orbiting in balance and continuity.

Stone Map

⚫ Flint & Chert – Silica-rich stones formed in ancient seabeds; dense, dark, and layered with history.
🤍 Chalk & Quartzite – Pale and porous traces of prehistoric life, soft contrast to the darker stones.
🟤 Sandstone / Siltstone – Weathered grains fused under pressure; a memory of shifting landscapes.
🔴 Red Jasper & Agate – Grounding and unifying tones; earthy, iron-rich, connecting fire and water.
