This is an image from the ‘Downland: art and the archaeological imagination in Wiltshire’ exhibition running at the gallery of the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes, which explores ‘the rich archaeology of earthworks and objects has engendered a sense of wonder and curiosity about the people who came before us, and how their lives have shaped the landscape we see today’. A visit is highly recommended.
Dr Rose Ferraby is an artist and archaeologist whose work often explores our relationships with landscapes through time. She is interested in finding ways of drawing out ideas and voices about landscapes through creative practice, and experimenting with ways of telling stories and creating connections. Her practice includes printmaking, collage, painting, sound and film, as well illustration and book design. She has created artwork for research projects and organisations, including for the British Museum. Rose writes and presents EarthWorks on BBC Radio 3, and Open Country for BBC Radio 4. She co-directs the Aldborough Roman Town Project in North Yorkshire.
