Fabric of the Land is a quest to investigate the inspiration given to art by examination of characteristics of the physical landscape. Since our inaugural Fabric of the Land in 2009 we have celebrated the complementary visualisation of Earth’s geology as manifest in landscape from which artists derive their inspiration with the science associated with the same subjects. In 2014 Fabric of the Land
provides an open brief for emerging and established artists to express their inspiration from the landscape and escape from the constraints of accuracy and precision that are inherent in scientific description. Through sponsorship from DANA Petroleum we are delighted to once again present the Fabric of the Land Awards - with one award of £1,500 and two of £500 to be presented during the private view event on Friday 12 September 2014. Fabric of the Land is making an exciting temporary move for 2014, taking the department of geology & petroleum geology, University of Aberdeen, to a city centre location. The exhibition will take place in Union Square, off Market Street, in a loft style unit overlooking Aberdeen Harbour. The exhibition is now in it's sixth year and is going from strength to strength with entries form all over the UK and worldwide. Applications for 2014 are now open - head to the website to download application packs www.fabricoftheland.com
