Upstairs/downstairs Photo display at Forester and Flower
Until later this evening there is a display of photographer Neville Gabie’s work at the Forester and Flower, of photographing people above the mines and connecting with what is going on beneath their feet .
Neville is part of the Art Project, but cannot be present because he is on an assignment in the Antarctic. His photos show different aspects of the work that is going on underground. It is significant that there is very little to be seen in his photos of the original condition of the mines. A demonstration that the infill project is drawing to a close.
Neville was to photograph Roger, but he forgot and was out at a Stone Mines meeting when Neville called (not like Roger to miss out on a photo opportunity), so he took a photo of Nic, Roger’s partner, lighting a fire.
You can also see Wags Firman working at the garage and activity under the garage and Phil Bishop on the telephone while work continues underneath. There is still time to have a look at the photos until closing time tonight.
