From an Ancient Sea: Oamaru and the Glass Archive – an exhibition of work from Wayne’s ongoing project, The Glass Archive – opens on Saturday 9 July at the Forrester Gallery, Oamaru.

This exhibition presents photographic works related to the Oamaru Diatomite deposits (together with other diatom-related sites) made internationally famous by diatomists and microscopists in the nineteenth century.

A publication related to the broader project will be available at this time, including an essay by Kelley Wilder (author of Photography and Science, Reaktion Books 2009, and director of the Photographic History Research Centre, De Montfort University, UK).
