TERRA exhibition essay written by Joy Sleeman

Jerwood Visual Arts presented the exhibition 'TERRA' in December 2011, part of the Jerwood Encounters programme exploring the relationship contemporary sculpture practice shares with the environment and landscape beyond the gallery itself.The exhibition was curated by Hayley Skipper and Antony Mottershead of 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.

The exhibition catalogue includes this essay written by Joy Sleeman, Lecturer and distinguished writer on Land Art.
