About the art
Artist statement
This piece is made considering ideas of time, and of our place on the earth and its environment. the pigments used are recycled industrial graphite collected by my uncle when the Steel works in Middlesborough were shut down, a relic of the industrial past. This is combined with mud rock from the Jurassic coast in England, a pigment made by nature and its way of recycling the earth through geology. It may contain dinosaur DNA. The earth itself is cyclic I collected this mud rock from the shore line where it was about to be eroded into the sea. there is a stillness in this piece which embodies mindfulness, but also a dynamism, associated with the cycles of nature.
