Moelfre limestone and upcycled aluminium
700 x 160 x 120cm
This sculpture is based on a smaller prop used as part of a performative investigation on the peat fens of Anglesey. Sourced from a nearby quarry, this limestone runs right beneath the fens, creating their distinct calcareous habitat. Each boulder weighs 2.5 - 3 tonnes each. Through playfully disrupting the picturesque environment with this weight and scale, we are reminded of the burden inflicted on landscapes through our actions. Against the backdrop of Snowdonia, it is a particular callout on adventure tourism which dominates the area, highlighting its impact both culturally and ecologically.
It was installed as part of Wetland Dreams at Oriel Brondanw, an exhibition supported by Arts Council Wales and Natural Resources Wales in summer 2023.
