My proposed practice is an evolved form of land art exploring the forces of erosion. Land artists like Andy Goldsworthy investigate the ever changing natural world, but I want to examine how erosion is constantly altering the landscape by rolling out clay over a coastal rock. By pressing the clay into the rock it would make a relief of the holes and marks that the waves have made. In time the waves will batter the clay, showing the strength of erosion. I’m confident the clay would show the forces of the waves quickly, because it’s a lot softer than most coastal rocks and I wouldn’t run the risks of the material drying out as it would be getting soaked by the sea. During its time on the rock it may also record footprints from crabs seagulls and people clambering over it to go rock pooling which would capture another method of erosion and give the clay piece a wider variety of marks. Once its reached a decent level of erosion the clay would have to be peeled off carefully then dried and fired. This would make this practice different to land art, because where products of land art are allowed to disintegrate, the products of my practice would preserve the effects of erosion.
