CLIFF
2022
Curtin University, Perth

In 2022 Janet Laurence completed a permanent installation at Curtin University in Perth. Titled ‘CLIFF’, this major piece required 150 unique rock and mineral specimens to be secured in a towering display.

“Imagine you are climbing a cliff, as you ascend the viewing staircase. CLIFF brings you the earth, not as a representation but as presentation of Earth itself, in the form of rocks each with its own story – of time, weather, movement, and formation.” – Janet Laurence, 2022
