Where there's a mine

| Detail |
Liz walks the Cornish
coastline with Steve Knightley's song
'Cousin Jack' echoing in her head – "This land is barren and
broken, scarred like the face of the moon", which commemorates the impact
that the Tin mining industry had upon Cornwall and its people. She has documented the effects on this
landscape of tin mining using the marks found within the ruined buildings,
rusting machinery and lodes. The cloth
has been stained with rust collected as she walked through the landscape, creating
a map of moments in time.
