That Quiet Earth

In this series I am interested in looking beyond the traditions of topography and place.  I am including objects and things that you wouldn’t normally see in landscape.  Often these are objects that might have seen a former elegance but now are unwanted or discarded but play a key role in the narrative and metaphor of the picture.  As Shakespeare said, “Beauty is but a vain but doubtful good.”

“I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath and hare-bells; listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass; and wondered how anyone could every imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in That Quiet Earth.” Emily Bronte. ‘Wuthering Heights’.
