The Wall Walks the Fell
​

Picture
We are delighted to exhibit here a series of photographic images by Manchester-based photographic artist Deborah Harrington, interpreting Norman Nicholson's poem Wall. ​

A wall walks slowly.
At each give of the ground,
Each creak of the rock's ribs,
It puts its foot gingerly.....

​
The six black and white images will appear automatically as a slideshow. You can read the entire poem and hear Nicholson himself reading it by clicking here.
Time, through consideration of the past, present, and future, is a predominant theme in Deborah Harrington's work. Using social history and ‘a sense of place’ as subjects of enquiry; ideas relating to transience, transition and change, through the interactions of presence and absence, stillness and duration, and the known with the unknown; provide space within the series for the viewer's own contemplation and reflection.
​

Deborah told us that the images, which have not been previously exhibited, are a personal project which she completed when researching ideas relating to ‘the impact of man on the fells’. During this time she came across Norman Nicholson through the work of Andy Goldsworthy.
