Peter Burke sculptures

Today I went to the Victoria Gallery in Bath which is currently showing an exhibition by Peter Burke called Earthworks. His sculptures are made of bonded soil. He uses a variety of soils all found within twenty miles of

Bath, which vary dramatically in colour.

All the works were easily viewable as a whole in the large open room.
 

Although these forms were quite flat they cast intriguing reflections on the floor.

Identical cupped hands protruding from the flat panels were made in a variety of soils which differed not only in hue but in how they cracked creating greater or lesser fissures.

The exhibition was certainly relevant to the working in a series course on which I am about to embark.
