Linescapes

From now to 28th November 2017:  an installation by Frances and Carolyn Marr at RSPB Geltsdale's gallery in the North Pennines, Cumbria. The RSPB blogpost about the show is here.




















We have used locally-found materials - including river grit, peat, bracken and heather - combined with clay to create a series of artworks tailor-made for this gem of a gallery tucked under Tindale Fell, near Hallbankgate. The gallery is roughly 20 minutes' walk from the car park. There is disabled access.
