The series of collages The Erratic Marbles juxtaposes marbled endpapers taken from voyage
journals, atlases, and other manuscripts from the late 1700s to the early 1800s, with found
photographs of erratic boulders. The title indicates the notion of a wandering body and
suggests a sediment irregular in pattern. Correspondingly -and more precisely- it refers to
the geological term of a boulder that differs from the surrounding rock and is believed to
have been brought from a distance by glacial action. While associations of displacement and
resistance to time surface between the set of pages that have been removed from their
original volumes and the out-of-place geological formations, the decorative patterns are
confronted by the images of mere rocks, counterpoising the overly aestheticized with the
austere naked simplicity
