Gravel Pit Understories

After work I found a quiet spot in an old, overgrown gravel pit. Using leaf litter, and whatever natural debris is strewn about me, I’m meditatively organising these things until a sense of harmony is reached.

The sound textures accompanying the film clips were created using my voice in a similarly free and spontaneous manner, conjuring up how it felt to compile each ephemeral array.

Beginning this land art project emerged from a desire to further develop my encephalic cleansing practice while spending meaningful, tactile time immersed in nature.

While piecing together the final assemblage, I repeatedly heard popping sounds in the long grass around me. At first I thought it was twigs falling from the trees, but I soon realised it was seed pods exploding. This became evident when the seed pods I had placed in the gravel pit portal burst right before my eyes, taking me by surprise.
