What I Have Been Up To - The Ark

 In my last post I said that I had been busy with lots of things.  One of the things that has kept me busy recently was a Pennine Lancashire art project called The Ark.

Developed by artist Beth Derbyshire The Ark is a converted narrow boat that houses a video installation, beautifully designed patterning and a wildflower roof.  So what was my involvement?  Well, I was one of the subjects of the film.

This floating cinema made its way through Pennine Lancashire from Eanam Wharf at Blackburn (see picture above.  Incidentally, this was shot by me using Pentax K1000 on Kodak BCN400 film.) and ending it's journey at Brierfield Mill, Brierfield.

The film entitled The Keepers follow several people who have a unique connection to the Pennine Lancashire  landscape.  Me?  I'm the Keeper of the Stone.  Below is a short film about the Ark and bottom is the film, The Keepers.
