Cinema Sark at the Environmental Art Festival Scotland. It’s not often that video presented as sited work so elegantly uses it’s setting, or so engrosses the viewer. This work is a meditation on the many dimensions of the Sark, the river that divides Scotland and England in the West. The space under the M6 motorway is both a constant reminder of the context, but also an ideal location for the screening.

Helen Mayer Harrison (1927-2018) April 3, 2018
We met Helen Mayer Harrison (along with Newton Harrison) in 2006 at a conference in Shrewsbury thanks to David Haley.
