James Darling

Résumé du livre

"A progenitor of Ecocentric Art and a master of the ordinary" writes Daniel Thomas in describing the work of artist, conservationist and farmer James Darling. "Nature is not a background" is James Darling's manifesto. This philosophy underscores each page of this book which traces his career to the present day, when he has become a creator of some contemporary art's most original and arresting sculptural works. His large photographs and sculptural installations are testament to pioneer years of creating a farm and duck island, while conserving wetlands in a fragile wilderness region of southern Australia.
