Common Ground is a small, grassroots organisation, based in Dorset, UK, that collaborates openly to reconnect people with nature and inspires communities to become responsible for their local environment. Between 1986 and 1988 the organisation helped communities in Dorset commission new sculptures for the local landscape. These artworks included ‘Turning Point’ at Godmanstone by Christine Angus, ‘Entrance’ by Andy Goldsworthy at Hooke Park, ‘Chiswell Earthworks’ by John Maine on Portland, ‘Wayside Carvings’ by Peter Randall-Page near Lulworth Cove and ‘Grains of Wheat’ on the Weld Estate by Simon Thomas. Two more were commissioned later in Cleveland, one by Alain Ayers (‘Masham Leaves’) and the other by Richard Farrington (‘Huntcliff’, after a residency at the Skinningrove Steel Mill) and one more in Somerset by Michael Fairfax (‘Riverside Sculptures’ at Waterrow). ‘New Milestones’ aimed to stimulate the creation of small scale works which express people’s sense of history, love of place and the natural world.
