'over the horizon'

Artists David Harbott, Anna Keleher and Kate Paxman are exploring the Berry Head National Nature Reserve which lies on the urban fringes of Brixham in Devon. Berry Head is a 400 million year old limestone promontary and is a designated SSSI for its nationally rare plants, its colony of horseshoe bats, the largest colony of guillemots on the South Coast and its geology. It houses the remains of 2 Napoleonic Forts which are scheduled monuments, and a vast, abandoned quarry which dates back over 300 years.
'over the horizon' is a Smooth Space project in partnership with the Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust with support from the English Riviera Global Geopark

Life at x10 - Quadrat 2

2m square, acrylic line marking paint on asphalt

Each of the two artworks are paintings enlarged from photos taken on the Southern Rabbit Lawn. This lawn is a fragment of Calcareous Grassland, variety Carline Thistle - Sheep's Fescue Turf, sub-variety with Portland Spurge and Autumn Squill.

You can walk on the artwork and the real thing, they wont last forever so now is a good time to see them while they're fresh.
