I was under the impression that this clay pit had been abandoned but if you look carefully, you can see one very small red digger In action. To my surprise, it is very much a working quarry.

Excerpt from evergreen.ca:
Legacy (the mud beneath our feet)
Artist: David Hind
Media:Reclaimed steel, aluminum, reclaimed wood
Location: Clayworks
A tribute to A.P. Coleman, who found evidence of ancient periods of climate change in the layers of deposits on the North Slope of the quarry. This sculpture, which depicts a pair of Coleman’s boots, speaks to the relationship between the natural world and industry by recalling the products and remnants of their interactions.

Exploring the china clay works at Shaugh Moor on a cold winter's day. I probably should not have been in there, but as far as I know this area is no longer mined.
A fascinating sight - perhaps not beautiful compared to the moorland beyond, but it has a certain attraction which is difficult to explain.
This image was in EXPLORE for one day, then dropped. I was surprised that it was in at all, but I know it's all down to the way the algorithm works. Still nice to get in Explore though :-)

Remains of the Standardized China Clay Company at Belowda Beacon near Roche, Cornwall.
What was once a large 'L'-shaped room, built pre-WWI in 1908 or 1912 - some uncertainty of the date, but of more modern styling than contemporaneous architecture.
Contained within were oil-engines driving d.c. generators to power the skips, pumps, processing and haulage equipment. A gas-plant was behind, in the lower part of the building.
An experimental plant, evidently, with not much china clay produced, it having a high mica content.

One of the 'roads' inside the Imerys China Clay Works next to Shaugh Moor, Dartmoor. On the skyline, left of the photo, can just be seen the transmission mast on North Hessary Tor, and the tops of several tors.
I believe the site ceased operations in 2008, but leaves an interesting place to explore.....though I don't think it's really allowed!
Each of the object is about two or so inches in height. The whole group is amazing. www.jeniferthoem.com

"Claywork/Correspondences" explores how clay, as a material, and the resulting artforms, can reveal situated interactions between bodies and habitats, emphasizing the material and relational aspects of human-environment connections.
Here's a deeper dive into the concept:
Clay as a Material of Connection:
Clay, being a natural material found in the earth, becomes a tangible link between humans and their environment. The act of working with clay, from gathering the raw material to shaping and firing it, involves a direct engagement with the earth and its processes.
Correspondences and Situated Interactions:
The term "correspondences" suggests a relationship or connection between different things, in this case, the human body and the habitat. By examining claywork, we can understand how humans interact with their environment, how their bodies are shaped by their surroundings, and how these interactions are reflected in the art they create.
The study of claywork can extend beyond the object itself to encompass the broader context of human-environment interactions. By analyzing the materials, techniques, and cultural meanings associated with clay, we can gain a deeper understanding of how humans have shaped and been shaped by their environments.

The little hands at work...!!
Performing work at a kiln, he is used to do work with his family elders from dawn to dusk, where they create and develop the beautiful pottery and handicrafts. The goods are sold into the local markets and exported around the world -mostly to the African region and Arabian peninsula.
