One of three etchings relating to the theme of secondary ecological succession.
Terra Arida depicts a dried landscape where the cracked earth has the appearances of clouds. With the second plate I added pools of water seeping into the ground.
I’m describing an eco-system where the observation of old ways and traditional skills are used to find and extract water in a desperate bid to survive.
