SOIL SOUL 2024

Entranced with the unique colour and texture
of the soil of the Marchmont Estate grounds.
Moving into the studio courtyard.
Taking time to engage with the land, to embrace the patterns, textures, colours; to create a juncture of connection and delight.
Moving with time and motion as the sun shifts, the waves play with my dodging skips, and I soak up lake fresh air with all my might.
I live for these moments, and leave them behind for those who share my delight.
Seed idea, September, Lockridge Common
One afternoon in September, when the grass was freshly cut, and after I had played with the grass at Lockridge Common, I made thirty-three globe shapes, placing each one on a patio stone. I documented them over a six month period, watching them breakdown, becoming muddy and sloppy. Covered in snow. Soaked in rain. In the spring I gathered what was left to gleefully discover that they had made a permanent ‘clean’ mark on the stones.
