The Cadence of Black Water

Shadows, fractures, hauntings, echoes, resonances… “the presence in the forest to the south slowly sweeping the darkness like a searchlight” ‘The Cadence of Black Water’ is drawn from writing, analogue and digital images made over a 5 year period of revisiting a ‘thin’ place in Cumbria. “the feeling of melancholy / not in me / the place” Images and words create a sense of claustrophobia and disorientation as the reader is taken deeper into the location, themes reverberate along nonlinear paths. “the black shape running past the gap / blur / on the forest side” 21 x 21 cm, 84 pages.
