‘Timeland’

£1,200.00

This large oval vessel records the history of the landscape from mineral soil to the first early farmers to over use of the land, to the build- up and cutting of turf. Patricia’s interest in the Neolithic, Seamus Heaney’s poems about the Bogland and the restoration of the peatlands have come together in this ceramic piece.

 

The resulting piece is not only about the colours and textures of the landscape but being made from it’s very essence, it captures it’s ancestry too, a Timeland.
