The central purpose of this dissertation is to discuss different ways in which
land and the broader natural environment has been used as a vehicle or
medium in art-making, with a specific focus on the works of Jenny Cullinan
and Lynne Hull and the candidate. The work centres on artworks that are in
the landscape, of the landscape, in the earth, of the earth or predominantly
concerned with ecological issues and the inter-relatedness of all living
systems. It is argued that artworks included under the general appellation
land or environmental art may be widely divergent in character,
notwithstanding threads of commonality and convergence. In addition, the
often fluid or ambiguous nature of the terminology associated with this area
of investigation has necessitated some definition of key terms. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2001.
