Surveillance on The Plain

By Henny Burnett 2018
Surveillance on The Plain is part of a new body of work where I make pieces of sculpture in response to a place and its stories, the work returns to its site of origin and in collaboration with the photographer Martin Urmson is documented and filmed. Salisbury Plain a scared and historical landscape offered the perfect location to gather objects, images and stories. Through casting and assemblage a sculptural installation was made, exhibited and then returned to its source. Surveillance derives from the historical military landscape of Salisbury Plain but has a wider relevance and connection to contemporary existence.
