Earth

Collaborative sculptural texts created as part of my Four Elements project.  Made using clay so as to be quite literally made from earth, each text is stamped into a clay disc, continuing the circularity of life theme running across the work.

Earth generates metal, generates water, generates wood, generates fire which, in turn, generates Earth.

 

Written by Rachael Barns after discussion and debate with Andrew Mortimer around different ideas regarding the elements between Eastern and European classical thinking.

Born as the Earth dies

Ecosystems breaking down

Nature will rebuild

Mother Earth
Nourishes our bodies in life
Reclaims in death

Earth you are our home.
Our home.
Our home.

Earth, bear with us;
We are experiencing some technical difficulties…

Stubbornness, Shame, Guilt, Disconnection, Disempowerment, Disillusioned, Poverty, Distractions, Denial…

Earth, bear with us;
We are still experiencing technical difficulties…

Earth you are our home.
Our home.
Our home…
