Author: SIMON DENISON
Title: Quarry Land
Description: Greyscale Books, 2005. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 72. A book of stunning and evocative black-and-white photographs of abandoned post-industrial landscapes in Britain, which reflect Britain's changing countryside, the passage of time and the impermanence of human endeavour. The book is related to a major travelling exhibition, funded by the Arts Council of England, which will be seen at various venues across Britain in 2005. The images were made on the Clee Hills in Shropshire, once heavily industrialised but now abandoned to telecoms stations, forestry and marginal hill farming. The book, printed to the highest art-book standards in rich duotone, also contains interviews and portraits of people who live on the hills, and an extended introduction by the author. In his Foreword to the book, the celebrated British landscape photographer Paul Hill writes: 'Simon Denison's metaphoric vision of the Clees is one that is full of industrial remnants and abandoned objects. The impression is of a harsh and unforgiving landscape - a place forgotten, overlooked and apart. The work is beautifully elegiac.'. ISBN: 9780954187811. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.
