'Tread Lightly'
Devon clay stoneware, wood ash glazes, oxides, 22x28x25cm, 2023
This has sound which can be found in the video.
The sound work is a recording from my research trip to Colombia where I worked with permaculture farms exploring the usage of clay from the ground. This recording is from one the farms I worked with which was only accessible by walking 1 hour up a mountain, the farm has no vehicle access. The path to the farm is winding and at some points disappears or there are multiple paths, however, clear instructions from my hosts stated how whichever path you take you will always end up at the farm. This farm was using clay from the ground to build a cob house.
