How the Land Lies: new film, photography and glass work by Alastair Cook
Fri 10th - Fri 24th February 2012
10am - 5pm (excluding Sundays)



How the Land Lies is an exhibition of Alastair Cook's recent film, analogue photography and glass work: it draws together work from his solo show Analogue Decay, exhibited at The Howden in April 2011, alongside the Five Seascapes Commission and most recently the Kilned Collodion work, a technique pioneered by Alastair while on residency at North Lands Creative Glass in Lybster, delicately combining wet plate Collodion photography and kiln-forming.
 
Alastair works predominantly with lens-based media as an analogue photographer concentrating on antique photographic technologies and as a filmmaker using 8mm and 16mm film, combining these with digital technology to great effect. His award winning film and photography is driven by his knowledge, skill and experience as a conservation architect: this mercurial work is rooted in place and the intrinsic connections between people, land and the sea.
 
"A thoughtful and smart exhibition, the photographs in Analogue Decay are beguiling and breathtaking."

Colin Herd, Aesthetica Magazine, April 2011.
 
"Alastair Cook's films are beautiful."

Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, August 2011.
