Dr James Fox takes a journey through six different landscapes across Britain, meeting artists whose work explores our relationship to the natural world.
From Andy Goldsworthy's beautiful stone sculptures to James Turrell's extraordinary sky spaces, this is a film about art made out of nature itself, featuring spectacular images of landscape and art.
James travels from the furthest reaches of the Scottish coast and the farmlands of Cumbria to the woods of north Wales. In each location, he marvels at how artists' interactions with the landscape have created a very different kind of modern art, and how they make us look again at the world around us.
