Stach Szumski looks at the ‘circulation’ of calcium carbonate in nature, an endlessly repeating cycle. ‘Grinding’ and cyclicity within a cultural and natural frameworks are important themes in the exhibition. By introducing the term osteomorphism, or the transformation of bone matter (osteo – bone), Szumski examines bone from the perspective of the course of evolution, how it morphed, changed its structure, shape, and dimensions, how it mineralized, compressed, only to dissolve again and become an organic-mineral form of cave dripstone. Here, bone becomes a carrier of information, from an archaeological, archaeo-biological perspective. In the exhibition, the motif of the transformation of bones and the morphing of their forms will be captured in the sculptures. The artist creates speculative entities, depicting bone formations that do not exist in reality, ‘grinding’ into each other. In this way, he shapes a completely new creation, a new unit whose structure alludes to bone architecture, Neolithic tools made from bones, a kind of bone processing practiced for utilitarian-survival purposes.
