Angela Palmer charted the three-billion-year history of the United Kingdom for her solo exhibition Deep Time: Uncovering our Hidden Past at the Pangolin London gallery. Highlighting the concept of the eternal and the ephemeral, she explored the extraordinary history of the UK, using rocks sourced from quarries throughout its four nations. 

The Tower of Time rises from its base of 3-billion-year-old Lewisian Gneiss and culminates with a representation of the Anthropocene - a highly polished stainless steel element in which the observer sees his own reflection.

Torus of Time is currently on exhibition in the Natural History Museum in Oxford. Both sculptures recently won the national Art Award in the Stone Federation's biennial Natural Stone awards.
