In this film, I am exploring the landscapes left after the industrial process of extracting arsenic in the Tamar Valley, particularly in and around Devon Great Consols mine, once directed by William Morris. It is thought that the arsenic mined there was indeed used to create some of the vivid green pigment Scheele's Green, which was used in his textiles and wallpapers. I am fascinated by the traces of these industries and their continued potent impact upon the environment.
