‘Each leaf that brushed his face deepened his sadness and dread. Each leaf he passed he'd never pass again.
They rode over his face like veils, already some yellow, their veins like slender bones where the sun shone through them.’
Cormac McCarthy, Child of God, 1973 -

A photograph is a universe of dots. The grain, the halide, the little silver things clumped in the emulsion.
Once you get inside a dot, you gain access to hidden information, you slide into the smallest event.
Don DeLillo, Underworld, 1997

Hope
Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering 'it will be happier'...

It strikes me that the only way to know this place is through touch. To place myself inside it. Incorporate myself into its compressed landscape. To reside, for a while, within its shattered rooms. Its deserted chambers. To allow my arms and hands to become extensions of its oblique geometries. Gently plug holes and fissures with my own body. To feel it. Observe the impression left upon my skin by its obdurate contours. To bear its scars, clinging like kisses.
Richard Skelton, Landings, 2009

interlude / exhibition / out of the woods of thought
Curated by the photography collective ‘Inside the Outside’, Out of the Woods of Thought at Argentea Gallery features work by its founding members Al Brydon, Rob Hudson, Stephen Segasby and Joseph Wright whose collective philosophy hinges on a number of interconnected questions about how we relate to the landscape and the way in which this informs their representation of it in photographic form. Complementing this philosophy is work by a number of handpicked guest exhibitors that include Lynda Laird, Tom Wilkinson, J.M. Golding, Brian David Stevens and Guy Dickinson.
