Earth to Earth - Sculpture inspired by nature's design by Martin Hill

$16.00 NZD

Category: Sculpture | Reading Level: very good

From the earth and returning to earth - it is a cycle of regeneration that has existed for millennia. Award-winning artist and photographer Martin Hill takes his inspiration from the natural beauty of this circle of life. It is his concern about the destructive linear design - take, make, waste - of con temporary society that led him to use his art as a forum to promote ecological sustainability. Whether the top of a snow-dusted mountain, or the sand of a windblown beach, each of Martin's locations is left in the state in which it was found. His stunning natural sculptures achieve permanence only in his acclaimed photography, showcased here in this stunning book. In his own words: 'My inspiration comes for being immersed in and learning from the natural world. I work in nature because we are nature. My material comes from the earth to which they return harmlessly after use. My photographs are made with the same sunlight that powers all the earth's living systems.'
