Jane Brettle - mine
mine is an exploration of two post-industrial landscapes that for centuries - and until fairly recently defined the work place and way of life for most local families.
For several years I have been walking a specific former tin mining site of South West Cornwall and a similar coal mining area in South East Scotland, both areas where I live and work. Walking in all weathers as the miners would have done I have photographed the landscape throughout the year, meeting with local people and investigating mining museums, photographic libraries, bookshops and online archives for information about the sites and for records of the people who made their livings through mining.
These artworks are stills from two x 20min 30sec time-based screen works.
