Life is inextricably connected to the Land
The Neolithic is characterised by monumental sites dedicated to forms of worship and ritual, thus defining a Sacred & Ceremonial Landscape.
The time and scale of effort invested in the design and creation of monumental structures by hand, was meant to transcend beyond a material existence, towards a spiritual experience.

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.
