Marsh explores what he calls “the tenuous relationship” between humans and the natural environment. One way in which he presents such interaction is by pointing his lens toward some of South Africa’s most famous mines, whether that glory is the product of hosting a world-class deposit or whether some dramatic events have taken place there.
