Signature	The handwriting on the prints is taken from Charles Lyell’s notebooks (spanning 1825–1874) held in the University’s Special Collections. Known for his contributions to geoscience, he made it possible for people to think about the earth as dynamic and developing, as opposed to static and fixed. This work is a continuation of Mann’s broader practice and interest in objects, specifically their inherent properties, the boundaries between them (and us) and the way they stretch and fracture through time.
