In Praise of Small Things
Anita Reynolds, Lucy Spink and Rebecca Walklett
A printmaker. A metalsmith. A jeweller. A bond forged in landscapes of great drama ingrained with the marks left by centuries of human habitation.
We shared an affinity for conjuring a sense of place through our work and we explored the moors with intensity and joy.
In Praise of Small Things celebrates our alliance and the shared fascination we have for tiny details in big landscapes. We explore the symbiosis between our practises and find common threads weaving us together.
About the exhibitors
“My jewellery is inspired by ancient Cornish and Devon landscapes and the tiny details I find on my daily walks near my studio in Cornwall. I am fascinated by how closely our lives were once bound to the rhythms of nature and use a small element of gold to represent the importance of the natural environment.”
“For me the landscape of Penwith & Dartmoor is about form, pattern & texture and the sense of very old time. I love the evidence of human interaction with the land, particularly the Bronze age circles and other architecture. It speaks of a culture that we will probably never fully understand but I have a sense that their understanding of the earth, the sky and a spiritual life was a community based knowledge. This gives me an odd sense of loss but also of reconnection.”
“We are hardwired to walk through the landscape. Humans have an innate sense of safety when on hilltops and when hearing birdsong. We feel calm when amongst trees and by water. My prints are a reminder that we are all deeply rooted to landscape and have an intrinsic need to access it. I capture the unpredictable nature and ever shifting moods of Dartmoor and the traces left by human habitation and intervention. My works are a call out to reconnect and celebrate the slowness and quiet that is felt when visiting the moorland, they are places of solace and comfort to those who visit them.”
