Langcliffe Quarry inspires artists for Skipton exhibition 'Slow Burn'
Craven Arts House in Skipton has announced a new exhibition, 'Slow Burn,' which will run from May 22 until June 15 and showcase the work of four local artists.
Drawing inspiration from Craven Lime Works in Langcliffe, Tim Smith, Elizabeth Smith, Luke Thompson, and Rose Wheeler have created visual, and written, responses to the historic site that will be featured in the exhibition, with media ranging from drawing and poetry through to painting and photography.
Ms Smith said: "Langcliffe Quarry carries the weight of time.
"Art allows us to reclaim forgotten landscapes, turning remnants of industry into moments of reflection and beauty."
In the words of a spokesperson for Craven Arts House, the artists' works concern the "transformation of the land" - which includes three preserved kilns that were part of the region's lime industry in the 19th and 20th centuries - "where human legacy fades into the embrace of time, and nature slowly reclaims its space."
Entry to 'Slow Burn' is free, with the exhibition to be open from Thursday through to Sunday, from 11am to 4pm, during the period.
An open viewing will take place on Friday, May 23, from 5pm to 8pm, to mark the exhibition's launch.
The artists will be present at the open viewing, and drinks and nibbles will be served.
A spokesperson for Craven Arts House added: "Craven Arts House warmly invites all art lovers, historians, and community members to experience 'Slow Burn' and reflect on the profound connections between industry, landscape, and artistic expression."
