About Fields of Imagination

Victoria Holmes is a Devon-based artist and founder of Fields of Imagination.

Fields of Imagination is an earth-based art practice exploring soil, place and ecological systems through soil chromatography and pigments gathered from the land.

Each collection 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.

Through soil chromatography and pigments gathered from the land, Victoria creates place-based collections that explore the hidden patterns of soil and landscape. Influenced by her background in organic farming and agroecology, her work approaches soil as a living co-creator.

Each artwork begins with gathering materials from a specific landscape and allowing the earth itself to shape the final image through a natural process, some are hand embellished with gold leaf.
