People think of Yorkshire and think of green fields, gruff voices, dry stone walls. Picture postcard stuff, a neat vignette to turn into a TV show or drive by on your holidays.
But Yorkshire covers over 10% of England’s landmass, a sprawling landscape threaded through with networks of work, passion, and everyday life woven into the dales and moors over generations. Everywhere, pockets of culture and craft bring colour to the countryside - a landscape that is not idyllic or untouched, but constantly being changed and worked. Green fields and burnt moors meeting grounds for heritage and change, industry and nature, community and isolation. This exhibition draws on a year spent reporting across the rural corners of the county. Through photography and prose, it builds a fragmentary portrait of the people, places, and practices that shape where we live.
George Hutton primarily shoots on medium format film and prints his images by hand in the darkroom. Having produced collections that profile the landscape and people of the Whitby area, he now spends his time working and living between London and Yorkshire.
Cameron Hill studied literature at Cambridge and York. He now owns a sandwich shop and writes.
