Fire Circle – art in the environment,
Burnt vegetation. 2003
The results of a fire made of green wood.
The wood at the centre of the fire has been consumed by the intense heat of the fire.
The wood at the edges of the fire remain unburnt, forming an almost perfect ring of twigs and small branches around the ash core.
The work invokes issues conncerning both the constructive and destructive effects of fire, and by extension of human activity.
I’ve been creating environmental art and art based on environmental issues since the 1970s.
