Commissioned by Mendip AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), this project is a photographic investigation of dry stone walls, in minute detail, across the Mendip Hills. Participants from Priddy School and Fairlands School used digital cameras, video cameras and computers to create some of the strangely beautiful images you see here By making photographs of isolated details, in extreme close up, the image-maker can create wonderful compositions of abstract shapes, textures and shadows. Using new technology, the artist can manipulate and enhance their pictures. This is exactly what the participants on this project did, the resulting images challenge the viewers sense of scale and cast a new light on the boundaries.

Images created by the participants were transformed into beautiful large PVC banners. The banners were exhibited upon the outside of the Charterhouse building, where the AONB is situated, for a celebration day in September 2007. Despite the Autumnal weather, the show was enjoyed by all visitors.
In addition to creating some fantastic photographic images the group wrote and recorded poetry inspired by the hills. They also created a hypnotic kaleidoscopic animation. Click the link below.
