Curated by artist Andrew Ekins, Making Ground brings together artists whose practice finds common ground in an exploration of the relationship between a topographical terrain and a crumpled landscape of the human condition.
Each artist delves into the shifting strata of memory and experience, mining a seam of personal reflections on the character and consequences of the human signature incised into the ground beneath our feet. This exhibition is a part of my continuing personal creative research project. As an enquiry into the sediment of human presence, it sets out to investigate the friction between habitat and habitation, the intricate relationship between human intervention and mother nature, drawing a line between the time-worn evidence and tell-tale traces of the human stain.
