Made from this Land is a new public artwork by Emma Edmondson, commissioned by Focal Point Gallery and Southend City Council and conceived in response to Southchurch and Thorpe Bay’s rich brickfield history, launched in October 2024.
Through this commission, Edmondson wants to start a conversation about agency, land ownership and our connections as humans to the land we live on. ‘Made from this Land’ explores the rich and untold history of local brickfields to create a permanent artwork formed of the clay of Southchurch.
