Passing Through

Passing Through

Photography by Paco Valera and poetry by Barbara Murray

22 May to 7 June, 10:00 to 14:00

Reeth, Hudson House Gallery

Admission FREE

Barbara Murray and Paco Valera divide their time between the Yorkshire Dales and Spain and are inspired by the woodlands on their doorsteps. One wood is the mythically atmospheric Shaw Gill Wood in Wensleydale; the other is the abandoned, arid and stark Can Coll Wood near Barcelona. Their bold collection of prose-infused monochrome tree portraits powerfully combines poetry and photography. The work encourages people to give time to ‘passing through’: the soul-stirring moments of reflection offered by woodlands. Artworks and books will be for sale.

Jo Selwyn-Smith has been painting and making things from his studio and workshop based high above Swaledale for more than ten years. His oil paintings are inspired by what he sees from his home on the high moors, and depict the effect the ever-changing skies have on the rugged Dales landscape. Artworks will be for sale.
