The works in Ground Level are assembled around the subject of "terra firma". Whether through perspective or actual material components, the works are either 'of' the ground or 'from' the ground. The works by Peter von Tiesenhausen and Jim Reid utilize two opposing vantage points with worm's eye and bird's eye perspectives respectively: a view from the ground looking up and the other of the ground viewed from above. Other selections are composed of earth elements, like the stone carvings of Stanley Lewis, or are intended to act as a segment of earth, as in Graham Peacock's Seasoned Ground Vee.
