Exhibition highlights
The farmers profiled in Earth Canvas look beyond limiting the impact of industrial agriculture on the landscape and instead engage actively with their properties to rehabilitate the land and nurture healthy ecosystems.
Inspired by their immersive contact with farmers and landscapes, artists including Ros Atkins, Jenny Bell, Jo Davenport, Janet Laurence, Idris Murphy, Tony Nott and John Wolseley reveal an appreciation for and understanding of the natural forces that sustain us.
