Forever

Echoing thorough the mists of time, the ancient stones resonate as symbol of a people

Whilst researching and photographing the landscape and archeological sites on Bodmin Moor, it struck me that generations of people, living over a period of around four millennia, left so little behind in terms of material culture.

Their everyday objects almost entirely vanished, faded away in layers time.

The stone monuments marking the landscape are an enduring and powerful, yet puzzling sign of their presence.

The landscape on Bodmin Moor has a certain charm and evocative quality.  Its bleakness and solitude add to an intangible air of mystery, legend and timeless beauty.

Celebrating the creation of Dartmoor National Park 1951 2021

The Studio presents the work of three photographers whose practice is centred on Dartmoor.

The online exhibition celebrates the spirit of freedom to roam, the experience of beauty in Nature, the heritage attached to particular sites, notions of health and wellbeing, and our inextricable link to the land.

A series of livestream events, in conversation with the photographers / artists, discussing their practice and the wider context will be available for free.

Introduction

Bodmin Moor, Goon Brenn in Cornish, is a granite moorland in Cornwall, England, with one of the most complete and best preserved upland prehistoric landscapes in Britain. Occupying a surface of 80 sq mi, this profoundly evocative landscape includes Cornwall’s highest tors, Brown Willy and Roughtor. Many of Cornwall's rivers have their source here.

Since 4000 BC, the first farming communities assert their presence by marking the landscape with monumental stone structures.

This photographic body of work explores the Sacred & Ceremonial Landscape, shaped by our Ancestors on Bodmin Moor.

An independent, self-directed project begun in 2018, culminates with this online exhibition.

An exciting and eclectic programme of live online conversations with key figures, on the wider context of Bodmin Moor, Photography, Digital Art & NFT's will run throughout August 2021.
