Harewood House, Yorkshire, 25 March – 30 October 2016
2 newly-commissioned films explore contrasting sides of the Harewood Estate
Shown in the Watercolour Rooms on the State Floor of the house, alongside the depictions of Harewood by Turner, Cotman, Girtin and Roger Fenton, this show is a centrepiece of the ‘Great Capabilities’ season celebrating Capability Brown’s 300th anniversary.
My films, shown side by side on 2 monitors, recreate Capability Brown’s original carriage drive to the house, contrasting the grandeur of this with the intimate, private Northern Pleasure Grounds that incorporated Harewood’s medieval church and castle.
