Exhibit A January and February 2026 3 Pinkie Maclure: The Soil Stained glass light box, 3 x 2.5 m, 2023 ARTIST STATEMENT: “Due to intensive farming methods, the world could run out of topsoil in 60 years, according to the UN. Without topsoil, the earth’s ability to fi lter water, absorb carbon, and feed people plunges. The Soil proposes we turn this situation around, by learning to work with the land rather than against it. This gardener is standing over a compost heap, peeing in it to activate nitrogen and the composting process. A river of pee, painted on greenhouse glass with silver stain, fl ows to a garden springing into life below her. I salvaged around 65% of the glass for The Soil from a neighbour’s greenhouse which had collapsed in a storm.” PINKIE MACLURE: ‘EARTHLY SPIRITS’ 31 January - 4 May: Galleries 1 and 2, East Quay, Harbour Road, WATCHET, TA23 0AQ. 10am - 5pm. 01984 263103 / eastquaywatchet.co.uk. pinkiemaclure.net Front cover: GRAYSON PERRY ‘ASPECTS OF MYSELF’ (2001) Tate: Purchased from Laurent Delaye Gallery with assistance from David and Janice Blackburn 2002.
