Award-winning Birmingham artist Stuart Whipps’ latest project sees him focusing on the Black Country’s geology, which spans 428 million years and is well known for its exceptional fossils and varied landscapes. 

Stuart has visited geosites across the Walsall Borough in order to accumulate material to take back to the studio. His fieldwork has included researching the history of fossil collecting in the area, and gathering together anecdotal material from the communities who use the sites today. 

The resulting analogue and digital photographic and film work serves to connect stories, places and materials in the Black Country.
