The origins of most commonly used materials go deep underground and far back, deep into geological and evolutionary time. In the contemporary world of globalised commerce and long supply chains, these origins are often obscured. These rings attempt to uncover the relations of materials foraged within the one bioregion; a region defined by environmental boundaries, rather than by human-made borders. The Sydney Basin bioregion is characterised by the visible presence of sandstone, but also coal, a material geologically formed millions of years ago from decomposing wood. Sydney has many other less obvious materials for design, including coral and oyster shells that are used here as a substitute for limestone in the creation of artisanal concrete.
