CAPUT MORTUUM | Guy Dickinson
Caput mortuum For Guy Dickinson by Chris Thornhill You must go on. Gather the fragments so that nothing may be lost. The stones that call to your body and its bones. The dull weight of it. The sutured ground, the cleaving sky. In all things a dumb...
DÁINN SERIES | Graham Vasey
My photography has always been inspired by the landscape, it’s history and the complex relationship that exists between man and the land. While an awareness of the history of a place is an important element of my work and research often inspires me to visit a...
DANS LE NOIR | Lynda Laird
On the 6th June 1944 allied forces launched the biggest amphibious military attack in history, landing along 50 miles of the heavily fortified Normandy coast and creating a significant dent in Hitler’s Atlantic wall. ‘Operation Overlord’ began the liberation of the...
STATIONS | Guy Dickinson
The vertiginous cliffs and treeless landscapes of the Oileáin Árann, with their gritty geological poetry of grykes and clints, are charged territory: a defiant last scattering of scarified mass before an ocean horizon that stretches unbroken as far as Newfoundland. To...
EDGELINES AND SPECTRAL POINTS | Kristel Collison
My work explores concepts of place and displacement, connection and disconnection. I'm particularly drawn to fragile, untended and often overlooked or unremarkable places and will repeatedly revisit he same locations during different seasons to observe...
SOLARGRAPHS | Al Brydon
Solargraphs are pinhole cameras with exposure times measured in months rather than fractions of a second. This slowing down of time produces the arcs of the sun as it traces it's way across the sky. The 'how' isn't anywhere near as important as the 'why but it...
Space —– My —- | Hazel Simcox
Robert MacFarlane explores the division between reality and imagination in his book ‘Mountains of our Minds’. The reality of undertaking an expedition to summit or traverse a significant natural landmark is elevated in the mind of the individual. The mountain...
DOGGERLAND | Brian David Stevens
Doggerland. Waves crash. LOVER OF STRANGERS A path cuts through the worn grass. I KNOW I HAVE LOST Now the advertising posters dance, shimmer on glass, huge as the buildings. EVERYTHING NOW PLEASE ...and we find a layering of screens, of silhouette that doesn't...
THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER | Michael Kemp
I began this work in 2010 as an exploration into a peaceful world I could escape to within the confines of London. Living in the capital can be isolating, where surrounded by people and an excess of information, can be an exhausting experience. A place to escape...
A FLUID LANDSCAPE | Amanda Harman
Water is at the heart of the Somerset Levels. Once sea, it has gradually become land through a succession of salt marsh, freshwater wetland and rich summer pasture. Human intervention has seen rivers diverted, bogs drained and an intricate network of ditches,...
BEYOND THE PALE | Zoe Childerley
My work Beyond the Pale explores a narrative around territory, land and belonging on the Anglo-Scottish border and beyond, and is inspired by me walking the length of this border during an artist’s residency in Northumberland in 2016. The 100-mile-long border...
SHORT STORIES OF LOSS AND HOPE | Simon Ashmore
Part 1: Short Stories of Loss and Hope I lost a number of friends during 2017/18, and - never having had to seriously consider mortality before - I found myself struggling to make sense of the tragedy of death. Perhaps inevitably I found myself in a...
