Known to bury canvases in the earth, to treat a concrete pavement like an archaeological site, to imagine electric, massive geologies, the aboveground nature of A Sapling to Tie zooms out from Tozer’s often-micro approaches. But it is still about earthly materials as vibrant, lively matter entangled in fierce, underground networks—trees that have existed for hundreds of years, the dirt and rock for millions. Her interest in deep, geological time now encompasses genealogical time, intimate time, the time over a summer, or a day, or the 20-minute duration of a video. — Rose Cachemaille, 'Hoping to Tie a Sapling,' CIRCUIT, 2025
