About the project...
The Grey Islands was a three-month interdisciplinary ceramic art project. During the summer of 2009 I lived alone on the Grey Islands while I made and documented a site-specific ceramic art piece.
The installation itself is quite simple. I built a wood-fired kiln according to a traditional design, only I inverted the design so that in principle the kiln is inside-out. Therefore, in a conceptual sense, the entire island is "inside" the kiln - when I fired the kiln I fired the island.
The ultimate purpose of The Grey Islands is to say that even within the material-oriented craft genres traditional hierarchies of medium and concept need to be reevaluated.

There has been archaeological fieldwork done in Conche in the past few years, but I'm not sure what's on the go this summer. There are other archaeology projects on the Northern Peninsula though, and there may be people heading there with extra space. The Provincial Archaeology Office or the Archaeology Unit at MUN might be able to give you an idea of who is working in the area this summer. I'll ask around. Tim
