Surface Tension
Photography by Sarah Eyre
Little Theatre bar, throughout the Festival, open when Festival events are taking place
Local photographer Sarah Eyre explores the Pennine’s moor-top reservoirs – their stark blasted locations and changing appearance through subtle changes in weather. Asking what these watery surfaces reflect, as well as what they hide submerged beneath, this is the first glimpse of a much larger study of the region, its landscapes, surfaces and boundaries. Sarah’s work has previously been exhibited in Castlefield Gallery and Manchester City Gallery.
