Are some places in the landscape more significant than others?
The show presents a series of photographic images and object based work that seeks to explore how we read the landscape. It focuses on two Neolithic sites: Arbor Low (Derbyshire) and Woodhenge (Wiltshire).
Arbor Low, 5 miles south west of Bakewell, was a place of importance to communities living in Derbyshire from 3,000BC. Woodhenge, 1.2 miles NE of Stonehenge, is a more recent site dated from about 2,000BC. Both places deliberately chosen, deliberately marked by the positioning of stones or wooden poles, the digging of ditches, and the recording of burial. How does the presentation of evidence and information determine our conceptions?
