Nidderdale Landscapes Photography Exhibition
Different Perspectives on Nidderdales Hidden Landscapes to be Highlighted in Photography, Art & Sculpture
The Friends of Nidderdale AONB are sponsoring an exhibition of
photographs by the celebrated travel photographer Paul Harris at
King Street Workshops in Pateley Bridge from 4 to 13 September
2009.
Inspired by the colour, shape and form of landscape features,
Paul's work creates an intimate study of Nidderdale and reflects
the beauty of the large in the fine detail of the minutiae.
A parallel exhibition of sculptures by local artist Sue
Harrison in an adjoining gallery complements this celebration of
natural forms.
Both exhibitions are part of collaboration with the Landscape
and Arts Network (LAN); the group will be based in Pateley Bridge
over the weekend of 4 6 September. LAN will explore the 'hidden
places' of Nidderdale with a programme of walks and talks and plan
to share responses to the mines, quarries, caverns and special
places that intrigue the visitor in creative form during the
weekend.
The LAN brings together artists, ecologists, educationalists,
architects, engineers and all those who feel passionate about the
natural environment. Their work aims to encourage a
cross-fertilisation of ideas and responses to broaden the context
in which we understand art and landscape.
Full details of the weekend and the exhibitions can be found
