Ways to the Stone House: Simon Warner Photography Exhibition

28 September 2012 – 03 December 2012

The extraordinary and unique landscape of the South Pennines takes centre stage in the forthcoming exhibition of work by photographer and filmmaker Simon Warner at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, Yorkshire. Warner’s videos appear either in miniature, nestled within the accoutrements of the daily life of the Brontë family, or projected onto the walls of the family home. The exhibition imaginatively highlights how the lives of the three Brontë sisters were entwined with the landscape; its influence on their aspirations and inspirations, and a landscape which played such a role within their work.
