Transcript of EARTHWORKS 5
EARTHWORKS“We actually are Earth. We really, really are just animated bits of the Earth’s crust, so to talk about us and the earth is wrong.”
Tim Flannery
This group of works is an exploration of the relationship between people, a sense of place and the earth.
As a starting point all of these works have been made from the variety of soils/earths within a 20 mile radius from one point in the UK. These materials have a rich association with underlying geology, history and society.For subject I have worked with people that have a connection with this area.
