Polytunnel
This ongoing project looks under the surface and examines the hidden landscape within the spaces our food is produced, looking at cyclical changes and the relationship between chaos and control in the natural environment.
In the polytunnel, the seasons are stretched and softened under the polythene skin and minute changes, which compound over time, transform the landscape as they develop creating its own cosmos. Layers of algae form over the weathered plastic, self seeded wildflowers establish themselves in the cracks of the structures and networks of animal nests are exposed as crops are changed.
The work was produced at different stages throughout the annual cycle of planting, growing, harvesting and lying fallow; following both the passing of seasons as well as the changing relationship, where nature fights to establish itself within a cultivated plot.
