A Nottinghamshire man’s fascination with Sherwood Forest is being showcased at Bassetlaw Museum.
A thought provoking and atmospheric exhibition featuring photographs by Terence Lane, capturing the forest and the surrounding area, is currently on display in the Percy Laws Gallery until the beginning of November.
Titled “Sciryuda”, an ancient name for Sherwood Forest, it features a selection of images from his ongoing personal project as a response to his ancestor who worked on the land, above and below it.
Terence Lane said: “This managed forest is changing dramatically now, but by using all of one’s senses it may just reveal to you both its fragility and strength and perhaps a combination of history, wonder, lamentation and hope”.
Terence Lane has been making photographs for years, after being inspired by his dad when he was a young boy.
His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally, been published, and acquired or purchased by private collections.
Katarzyna Wosiak, Collections Officer said: “We are thrilled to present these absolutely stunning images that capture the essence and timeless beauty of Sherwood Forest.”
As well as the exhibition, a series of Meet the Photographer sessions are taking place, giving people the chance to ask questions, as well as bring in their own photographs for feedback. Please check the Museum website for dates and times.
The “Sciryuda” exhibition runs until Saturday 2nd November at Bassetlaw Museum, Grove Street, Retford and is open Monday to Saturday 10am – 4:30pm. Admission is free.
