About the book
Earth Art is a series of collaborations between contemporary artists and scientists from the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol, UK. Each collaboration consists of a six-month artist Fellowship followed by a six-month exhibition in the unique Earth Art Gallery. Earth Art has been running continuously since 2015.
Olivia Jones took residence as University of Bristol’s EarthArt Fellow from July 2018 to January 2019. During her fellowship, Olivia worked with academics in the Volcanology Research Group on the subject of volcanic ash, building on a project she began developing in late 2017 titled, Tephra: Order in the Dust.
Exploring the behaviour and materiality of ash particles, clouds and plumes, Olivia has created a new body of work in conversation with Bristol volcanologists, looking into the methodologies, technologies and interface between science and art.
The term Tephra, defines all material ejected by a volcano during an eruption, encompassing volcanic material both on a micro and macro scale. Drawn to the density of ash plumes and the dual nature the formations as being both beautiful and ominous, Olivia sought to find out more about the structure of ash clouds and developed conversations with those working closely with ash in their research. The material itself became an important part of the production of the new works in the exhibition. Prints developed from drawings of microscopic images of ash particles and ceramic sculptures were created using ash samples collected by volcanologists at the University of Bristol.
