Earth-based art by Victoria Holmes

Soil to Soul

Fields of Imagination is the earth-based art practice of Devon artist Victoria Holmes.

Working with soil chromatography and pigments gathered from the land, she creates place-based artworks that reveal the hidden patterns and intelligence of living soil.

Each work begins with soil gathered from meaningful landscapes. Through the chromatography process the material itself generates the image, transforming earth into visual records of landscape, ecology and time.
