Symphony for the Mountains (an exhibition in 3 parts)

A celebration of some of the world’s most inaccessible mountain landscapes from some of the country's top mountaineers, outdoor photographers, painters and writers.

Part 1. Odyssey and expectation.   Exhibition Launched September 8th 2006
Part 2. Action, adrenalin and living.  
Part 3. Epic and epiphany.  
Finale.  A final work comprising all contributions will tour the UK. Details to be confirmed.

This work sets out to express the human experience and spiritual gains from time spent in the world’s greatest mountain ranges through the use of photographs, paintings and words.
The range of images aims to express the enormous breadth of experiences and vistas witnessed in these wild locations.
From the harmonious and healing properties of being above the clouds to the extreme conditions and emotions of world mountaineering.
