Trouble Everyday sources ‘found’ printed images and contain ‘found’ artworks from the 60s/70s Earthwork era. In Trouble Everyday the photographs and paintings all portray watery landscapes. Icebergs in strange places and ‘found’ Land Art submerged in familiar looking scenes like National Geographic images gone wrong. The exhibition is based on an interest in the documentary photography of 70s Land Art sculptures in the way some tend to give the sense of a non-space, or at least a space that can never be physically accessed, as it may not exist anymore. Some of the works are also an unsubtle nod to the title Trouble Everyday and the now widely recognised detrimental changes to the earth due to human actions.
