A series of images a captured on a single, circular walk on 2nd May, 2016 (Bank Holiday Monday) at a popular, if rather dishevelled spot on the northern boundary of the Peak National Park.
Suitably hindered by bad weather, almost impassable puddles (as constructed by green lane warriors) and the company a not entirely willing 6 year old companion, it was still possible to filter out the steady procession of Gore-Tex®.
B A N K H O L I D A Y celebrates how these once very wild spaces have been co-opted by the civil engineers, agriculture and day-trippers, and the disruption of the existing topography. The functional aesthetic just as engaging as the often photographed vistas to the South, in the Peak District proper.
Exhibited as a series of 500 x x 500mm prints alongside a one-off monograph at ArtsmithLive in Derby
