I have been developing a new body of work using rammed earth:

Earth Time and Disruption, Rammed Earth, 2017
The works started as wax maquettes:

Which were then scaled up

Form work was made of plywood

Layers are colour coded

The first completed sculpture was Earth Time:

I then experimented with adding Iron Oxide Pigment to give a red colour

And more complex formwork

Disruption

I discovered the form work and baking paper on the bottom of the sculptures had amazing traces of earth left on them:

My studio was full of earth

More works followed which investigated rotating the layers relative to the horizontal and the relationship between the form work and the sculpture.
