Month: August 2025

Afterlife by Katie Paterson recreates ancient amulets, carved from materials sourced from disappearing landscapes and fragile ecosystems. Stones from islands threatened by rising sea levels, glacial remnants, and materials from fire-ravaged forests are transformed into objects that serve as reflections on loss, connection, and renewal. The project explores themes of deep time, geology, and environmental change, prompting audiences to consider the legacies left for future generations.

Afterlife is on view at Folkestone Triennial til 19 October 2025.

The title refers to a simple, almost universal gesture: a child counting steps, stones, or passing strangers. In doing so, the child begins to shape the world into something knowable. Counting becomes a way to create order, to pay attention. The exhibition observes counting not just as a system of numbers, but as something instinctive, imaginative, and layered.
