More than 420 million years of geological history in the West Midlands is being explored by an artist as part of a gallery residency.
Stuart Whipps, who makes photography, films, and installations, is examining the area which stretches across Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
The site was designated a Unesco global geopark in 2020, recognising it as an area of outstanding geological heritage.
Known for its remarkable fossils, diverse landscapes and mineral wealth, the Black Country played a crucial role in discovery and innovation during the Industrial Revolution, Whipps said.
