Dawn to Dusk - Peter Hicks

Lund Gallery hosted it's first film preview on friday evening - and it was a privalge for us to be able to do so. Film-maker Nick Turner spent 5 weeks with an artist who both Debbie and I have a strong admiration and respect for, Peter Hicks, recording Peter taking inspiration from the changing light in the landscape of the North York Moors. Nick then distilled this down to around an hour of footage, complete with dialogue from Peter, that held the undivided attention of two sell out audiences over the weekend. It was wonderful for us to be able to host such an inspirational film for people who are as much in admiration of Peter's work as we are...

During the Friday show I had gated the sheep into the back field to free the front field up for parking. But, sheep being sheep, they managed to find a way through (- the grass is always greener.... ) So I spent a fair part of Saturday patching up the hole in time for the second film showing. As with everything else in life, it's the unexpected 'extras' that keep you busy, no matter how well planned things are in advance...
