Objects from within the rural landscape, and their relationship to it, are the point of departure for this work. Once an integral part of the landscape, certain objects such as the tine of the plough or pitchfork had great power and influence on the land. This work looks at the power and influences the land and time has had on these objects in contrast to their original role.
