‘Gone to Earth’ Low Impact Sculpture ‘Gone to Earth’ is an experimental sculpture, exploring how I can minimise my impact as an artist on the environment. Sited in an orchard in Bexley, the artwork is on show until 29 April as part of Winter Sculpture Park 2023 https://www.galleryno32.co.uk/winter-sculpture-park.html The work is a hybrid of traditional, recycled and bio-degradable materials. A textile wrap of hand woven silk and jute, houses jewel coloured bio-plastic windows where the audience can view the inner habitat designed to provide a refuge for surrounding wildlife. The modular frame enables less carbon heavy transport, easier storage and for the steel to be re-used in a future sculpture. Non-toxic bio-materials naturally degrade over the exhibition life-time and any remaining will be dug back into the earth. Textiles will be recycled into future sculptures and the inner habitat will remain once the main sculpture has been removed to support local wildlife By creating a response to the waste often produced through creating sculpture, I hope to go some way toward breaking that pattern.
