Benjamin Mefford -He/Him

My work for Terra Incognita considers the interplay between shape and sound, permanent and temporary, man-made and natural.

Benjamin Mefford is an interdisciplinary artist specializing in stone sculpture. His work is often a form of structural escapism, experimenting with materials and their properties to push beyond their conventional uses.

Land Art opportunities like this are rare in this day and age. Land is owned, controlled, and restricted everywhere you look. For millions of years the landscape was our most immediate and accessible resource. It is written into our biology to instinctively alter the landscape that we inhabit, but for city-dwellers, this can only find expression in the most limited of ways. Being invited to transform a small piece of earth, especially over a substantial period of time, alongside other like-minded artists... it is a gift.
