Art in the environment: Limpet
Umbrella, granite rocks. Zennor Hill, Cornwall 1st September 2018
A work of art in the environment consisting of an umbrella clinging to a granite rock on a windy and misty hilltop in Cornwall.
The umbrella in this work can be seen as representing shelter. Perhaps it’s shelter from bad weather caused by climate change or global warming. The shelter provided by an umbrella in the face of climate change is however woefully inadequate. The flimsy structure of the umbrella can be seen as echoing humanity’s flimsy attempts to counter climate change.
