Description
Richard Skelton's Landings is a collection of texts that explore the hidden histories and ecologies of the West Pennine Moors of Lancashire. Drawing on a range of sources, including historical treatises, maps, parish records, and the artist's own diaries and notebooks, the book documents Skelton's use of music, writing, and photography to 'collude' with the land. The work is a record of Skelton's attempts to capture the voices of the here and now, the lost and forgotten. Originally published in 2009, Landings has grown over the years, reflecting the artist's ongoing engagement with the land and its stories. Through its oblique and poetic approach, Landings offers a unique perspective on the relationship between humans and the natural world.
