Art I like - Rosie Leventon

Land and installation artist Rosie Leventon uses many materials in her work - including baked sugar, recycled mobile phones, and books -
This is "A long way from the bathroom". She says of her work: "Beneath our too rationalised and civilised western world lie most of the things I am interested in - things such as archaeology, crop marks, iron age hill forts, long barrows. Also lost and buried watercourses, cisterns, and forgotten rivers. The piles of recycled paperbacks were piled up into stacks and the centre was hollowed out and carved into a saucer-like spherical negative shape."

"Dig", a pond in a wood, is one of those simple good ideas. "B-52" nearby is definitely thought-provoking. See her talk about both of these in the video at the end of this blog post.
