The blog has been very quiet for several weeks,Covid seems to have affected our creative urge and productivity.
However ,some exciting news from Liz as she submitted work for Saqa's Digital gallery 'Land Art :From theForest to Your Balcony' and was accepted.
her pieces Fragments of time and Fragments of time 11 are pictured below.
and her statement about the work :
I am researching ways of recording how our industrial past has marked our landscape.Fragments of Time are part of a series of pieces documenting the effects the Tin Mining and Fishing Industries of Cornwall have had on the landscape and its people.These industries have left ruined buildings, rusting boats and discarded machinery that litter the cliff tops and beaches,
Fragments of time consists of three layered and pieced strip cloth maps stained with rusty objects gathered as I walked along the beaches harbours and coast paths, capturing a sense of the place,
The patterns and colours created within the cloth-rusty orange ,greys and blacks-evoke memories of past times and the rock formations found within the landscape, capturing moments of time as a visible sign of something that no longer exists except as a fleeting memory.Stitch was used to enhance these patterns and to document the marks observed within the ruined buildings, rusting machinery and the coastal landscape.
