Earthworks is body of work, Sculptural and on paper that focuses on the cyclical, sacred and fundamental nature of basic materials. The mining and processing of which the modern world relies entirely upon. I am fascinated by the fact that our ethereal digital world replies upon the same materials that ancient civilisations did for theirs, and that it is the exploration of material processes that has propelled society ‘forward’. I am concerned that disconnection from the material world contributes to a misunderstanding of our basic needs as humans and a lack of reverence for the gifts we extract from the earth.
The works that have emerged as a result of this fascination, contemplate a relationship between witchcraft and science, God and sand.
