Ravens

By  Steve Messam 2014
A landscape installation within a working farm in the Worth Valley, West Yorkshire. The concentric circles mark the soundwaves from imaginary ravens on the fields. The piece celebrated the role of farmers in shaping the landscape and was part of a series of landscape works in grass along the route of the Tour de France in Yorkshire. Commissioned by Working pArts for the Fields of Vision programme - part of the Festival of Yorskshire.
