Stonehenge 2007 - Julia Midgley

At Stonehenge, Midgley moved between excavations following the changing scene. The drawings produced are documentary, but quite unlike a photographic record. They are an interpretation which defines and separates moments in time. The archaeological team recognised something in common with Midgley’s project. Her drawing boards and materials were borrowed by the team for their own work. Returning the compliment, Midgley started to adapt the archaeologists’ materials, drawing on graph paper and archaeological recording sheets. The work produced plays on the interaction between two kinds of archives - one artistic, one archaeological.
