Stephen Turner’s practice is concerned with aspects of time and the relationship between transience and permanence. His work often involves spending long periods in odd abandoned places, noting changes in the complex relationship between people and the natural environment. His projects are rooted in research, which explore these themes in a variety of media (including photography, video and the written word as well as sculpture, drawing and design). In an age of hubris he endeavours to provide a voice for mute nature – to be amanuensis to the tides, terns and turnstones and to offer a reminder that all life is interconnected.
