Publisher's Synopsis
A survey of Peter Ward's extraordinary body of work (so far!). He shares his essential philosophy - an ecological thought that infuses, powerfully, all of his work. Peter has become increasingly outspoken about his passion for planet and his work elementally reflects this passion. While it may be, for a while, fashionable to use earth pigments and naturally-derived clays (partly as a result of the lifelong work by Peter Ward and others), there is a core group of artist who have dived deep into the core of the earth around them. Peter Ward should be considered now as one of the greats in this area of work. So this book is not borne of fashion but of a fundamental and profound attachment to the earth - ultimately, as Peter tells us in his introduction 'this book is about earth'.
