This is an active chalk quarry in Castle Acre, Norfolk, its ground chalk and flints taken for industry. The landscape is continually cut and scraped back. Extraction here is a form of erasure, yet even in this disturbed ground, plants return. Seeds drift in, roots test the edges, wildflowers appear in the fractures. Life insists on reclaiming what is stripped away.  These resilient plants create beauty alongside damage, holding their ground; capturing a tension between extraction and erasure on one side, resilience and renewal on the other.
