The Story of Connected Life through Rock, Earth and Community.

EarthBound explores the hidden layer worlds of bedrock and earth, pulling us up into the light to look at our own human story of life on the surface.

The aim of EarthBound is to make us pause for breath a little, and think that our future survival may well depend on us having a deeper understanding and respect for the incredible life, micro-organisms and fungal networks that hold our planet in balance. The smallest things can have the biggest impact for our survival as a species, we have learned this the hard way over the last few years.

EarthBound hopes to make us think a little more about the hidden story written in our rocks and the earth under our feet, the life there now and in the layered history of rock and earth, above and below, how we are all connected to this continuing story.

We are all EarthBound.

Artists included in the show are: Kate Bellis, Sally Matthews, Alex Hyde, Bernie Rutter, Liane Lang, EJ Lance, Melanie King, The Silver Field, Feral Practice, Angel Wylie, Maggie Cullen, Kate Learmouth and Mark Elmore.

Earthbound project supported by: Canon, the Institute of Quarrying, RJ Print Lab, Arts Council England, Longcliffe Quarries Ltd., Natural History Museum, University of Derby and Wildlife Worldwide.
