See ‘Sciryuda’, a collection of photographs by Terence Lane, at Bassetlaw Museum between Saturday 7th September and Saturday 2nd November.
This exhibition, ‘Sciryuda’, an ancient name for Sherwood Forest, is a selection of images from an ongoing project by Nottinghamshire photographer Terence Lane.
The images provide more than what was in front of a camera. A contemplative approach, removed from conventional landscape or documentary style, the images are a deeply personal response to an ancient forest, where the photographer’s ancestors worked the land, above and below. A sense of place and timeless, yet moving beyond the physical with gaps filled by imagination, the images also invite one to muse and reflect. This managed forest is changing dramatically now, but by using all of one’s senses it may just reveal to you both its fragility and strength and perhaps a combination of history, wonder, lamentation and hope.
