Jerwood Visual Arts presents TERRA, a new Jerwood Encounters exhibition that explores the relationship between contemporary sculpture practice and the environment.
The exhibition is curated by Hayley Skipper and Antony Mottershead of the Forestry Commission England, based at Grizedale Forest and features work by Jonathan Anderson, Edwina Fitzpatrick, Luke Jerram, Anne-Mie Melis and Owl Project. The artists each explore contemporary sculpture practice through their own sensory relationship with the environment and the artwork exposes these ideas through a multiplicity of unique works.
Jonathan Anderson (top) works with coal dust and other elemental substances. Luke Jerram (above) is a colour blind artist fuses his sculptural pracitce with his ongoing scientific research into the qualities of space and perception in extreme locations.
