Tracing Granite | Groundwork

Tracing Granite (2018) follows a Groundwork field trip that took place in October 2017. Led by Dr David Paton, Tracing Granite: In Search of a White Cross took its participants on a tour of the six granite districts in Cornwall and Devon. Over four days, film-maker Rachael Jones joined a group of artists, geologists, cultural geographers and writers and recorded their discussion, research and discoveries.
Supported by funding through Arts Council England’s Ambition for Excellence scheme, Groundwork was organised by CAST in partnership with Kestle Barton, Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange and Tate St Ives. The programme, which ran between May and September 2018, had four strands: a season of international contemporary art, field trips, residential workshops and an ambitious learning programme.
