INSTAR’s ‘Shelf Life’ is an expansive artistic project for the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape. It challenges and explores the possibility for a sustainable balance between modern day farming and protecting and enhancing nature. Using print, billboards and film, the artists open a conversation concerning pressures on natural habitats and farming within the Lincolnshire Wolds landscape for Nature Calling.
Inspired by the Lincolnshire Wolds landscape, ‘Shelf Life’ is a print-based sculptural installation and film developed by INSTAR artists Trish Evans and Nick Humphreys. ‘Shelf Life’ is formed of three elements: a large-scale billboard artwork touring ten locations within the Wolds landscape; a film featuring the artwork billboard accompanied by the voices of farmers and landowners; and three smaller-scale touring billboards created in collaboration with Lincolnshire teenagers. These billboards will tour a series of Lincolnshire festivals and events from June to September.
