Georg Wilson’s ‘The Earth Exhales’ for Jupiter Artland encapsulates the lull of summer, when the air is thick and drenched with pollen, and a hazy green stillness has smothered the land.

A reoccurring motif in the exhibition is the rose chafer beetle, a metallic, gem-like creature. Rose chafers wriggle from the soil in late summer to feed on rotting vegetation, tree stumps and flowers. Summer is aptly represented by the rose chafer, a beautiful bright thing that feeds off the overripe and the dead. ‘The earth exhales’ and tires, beginning the process of dying back, waning into autumn.
