"ALCHEMIA - The Design of Time, a 2x2 meter art installation, is inspired by how time can act as a designer through a series of alchemical processes and how this can contribute to a new understanding of what it means to design. By looking at processes like oxidisation, friction, sedimentation, Beatriz rethinks her own creative practice by including tarnished and worn materials. Whilst navigating the universe of natural abstractions, the artist reflects on how she can take time as a creator, allowing this reflection to lead her to innovative materials and processes and breaching the barriers of how embroidery can be conceived."

"The paper highlights the connections between ancient Egyptian mummification practices and the foundations of alchemy, positing that mummification serves as a precursor to alchemical theory. It discusses various perspectives, including Chinese interpretations of alchemy, and suggests that the Egyptian notions of transformation significantly influenced the development of alchemical practices. Additionally, it examines the symbolic significance of gold in relation to divinity and the religious complexities surrounding the practices of mummification."

"Spanning the world’s artistic, scientific and religious traditions, alchemy has embraced and continues to embrace the complete spectrum of existence. From metallurgy to metaphysics, alchemy engages the technical, fine and hieratic arts in order to provide a living phenomenology of the one, single, elusive process that acts through all things. Ultimately—in its guise as « ars transmutationis »—alchemy penetrates to the heart of the transfiguring spiritual intensity that underpins the perfection of life, from mineral to human. Despite this profoundly all-embracing purview, however, alchemy continues to be conceived as either proto-chemistry or proto-psychology. The present volume seeks to redress this false dichotomy by exploring alchemy as a quintessentially integral phenomenon."
