BRATTLEBORO — A 17-minute film, “The Magic Lantern Along the Pennine Way,” will be shown on Sunday, May 1, from 7 to 9 p.m., at C.X. Silver Gallery, 814 Western Ave., as part of the closing reception for Susan Brearey's exhibition and book launch, “Elemental Images,” with music by Tim Eriksen followed by a forum and conversation. This event is free and open to the public.
Brearey is featured in the film.
“This was my summer collaboration with artist Dylan Stone and American musician Tim Eriksen in England,” Brearey says. “We spent 12 days working in the northern Peak's District of England along the scenic national trail called the Pennine Way, which stretches across 286 miles of mountain tops and crosses Hadrian's Wall.
“British photographer and filmmaker Claire Nathan made a film of us making magic-lantern slide paintings and drawings while Tim created the music on site. It's a journey of sorts of three artists finding inspiration in this amazing landscape with a nod to John Constable and his wonderful sky paintings.”
