HAUNTING photographs suspended from trees are being featured in a striking art exhibition at Grizedale Forest until November 6.
Ghosts in the Wood, by award-winning Devon artist Mike Smallcombe, comprises 20 giant images printed on a special waterproof canvas.
The 8ft by 6ft pictures are held in place by ropes and a specially-developed pulley system.
Mr Smallcombe said: “Ghosts in the Wood features images of stories of local people in rural settings that reflect the sometimes harsh realities of country life.”
The exhibition is part of Grizedale’s forest-based art programme, which aims to inspire and engage visitors and forge new links between contemporary visual art, sculpture and the forest environment.
Hayley Skipper, arts development officer for the Forestry Commission at Grizedale, said: “These haunting photographs look amazing in the environment of Grizedale Forest and will make a wonderful addition to our famous sculpture trails.”
