Skink Ink Fine Art is proud to announce a show of exceptional aerial photographs of crop circles from the UK, taken by one of the foremost documentarians of this unusual phenomenon. Steve Alexander is often amongst the first to photograph new formations from the air after they are discovered, revealing a form and scale that is lost to viewers on the ground. This is a show of thirty images of circles from the last three summers.
What tends to get overlooked in the debates over how they are formed is that very often crop circles are beautiful examples of land art in the tradition of Long, Goldsworthy, Smithson or Heizer. Often laid out as mandalas using primary geometric shapes of circles and lines, their apparent simplicity and pop culture appeal belies a sophistication in their creation, an attention to detail and a formal mathematical beauty. On the ground they are sculptural; it's not unusual for the crop to be woven into three dimensional shapes or laid in weaves and patterns subtly detectable in the differing reflections of light.
Always clandestine; the makers are unknown, like taggers they turn up after dark and leave before dawn and they always work on other people's property. They too have a subculture and a following who gather to view, to discus, to share and to enjoy the spectacle. Steve Alexander is part of that culture and his part in it is to document first hand this very fragile and temporary art form. Someday it will be seen to be the important work that it undoubtably is.

May we remind you again to place your Year Book orders and to make sure you get your 2012 calendars orders in to us. We have less than 100 copies of the calendar left and expect to sell out soon. This goes for our Year Book gift set including the calendar - once they are gone, they are gone. We will also only be having a very limited run on our year book this year, the current financial climate is biting everyone hard, so please make sure you get your copy - we do not re-print.
ADVANCE ORDERS for the Crop Circle Year Book 2011 are now open. The book will be published in early December as usual.
It helps us enormously if people place their orders early. We mail all the books out as soon as they are published, but it helps us organise that large mail-out if everyone places their orders early so we can arrange everything to be ready for when the books arrive from the printers. That way, we can get them to you as soon as possible.
Putting the book together this year has only reinforced what an interesting and amazing season it was! So don't miss this fascinating and beautiful record of the year. In addition to some stunning photography by Steve, Karen has also added a collection of some of her sketches of the circles to the year book this time around.
We have some great offers on multiple purchases of 5 & 10 books and a gift-set including the 2011 Year Book, 2011 photo-set and a 2012 calendar. We are also offering the 2011 Year Book with a DVD containing over 50 images of the 2011 season for use in PowerPoint presentations and for research use on your PC and we have added the 2011 Year Book to our Year Book set - see below for all the options.
The Crop Circle Year Books are unique and apart from being incredibly beautiful, they are the only annually published books on the crop circle subject. We have a limited print run and the books are not widely available. So please order yours today.
