The premise of Beth Hatton's work is to explore the position of a human being in the environment. Hatton's entire body of work consists of art made from natural materials such as kangaroo skin.
The grass series is right in line with Beth Hatton's mantra, as all pieces are made with harvested wheat. This peculiar collection includes odd objects such as a rifle, a boot and a pair of scissors all sculpted out of gathered and glued wheat.
