Exhibition Details
blueoyster.org.nzBlue Oyster warmly invites you to the opening of Soda ash. by Ed Ritchie, Blue Oyster and Caselberg Trust summer resident for 2023.
Between 10 and 16 million years ago at least three successive eruptions of the Dunedin Volcanic Complex spread lava and ash across the landscape, the explosive force of its magma opening out a caldera which filled with salt water from the ocean. Over millions of subsequent years lava and powdery ash solidified, making sediment that weathered into the folds of hills that form the landscape surrounding Otago Harbour today.
Soda ash references the accumulation of geological, weather-born, oceanic and human processes that shape this unique environment.
