'Earthworks' is an exhibition of analogue photography and printmaking by Amber Brown, celebrating the Northumbrian allotment and its cultural landscape. Through a marriage of techniques such as large and medium format analogue photography, combined with zinc etching, Amber aims to create links between the physical, laborious, rewarding processes of art and gardening. Since August 2018, Amber has been working with multiple local spaces such as Amble West Avenue allotment, Percy Drive allotment and Tommys Field in Morpeth - this is a project that so far has been ethnographic and will hopefully continue, collaborating with more people to raise awareness and praise our local green spaces as the seasons change.
'Earthworks' has also been supported by Grow Wild after being awarded a Youth Project Award, in association with the National Lottery Community Fund and the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew. The project was shortlisted in the top 10 finalists at Belgrade Photo Month 2019, and shortlisted in the Astaire Art Prize 2019.
The exhibition will then be open every Wednesday from 3:30-5pm until July 17th. Viewings at other times by arrangement, subject to the schedule of Dry Water.
