Our Picturesque Landscape Myriorama

By  Penny Hallas 2022

Dimensions
each Myriorama panel 218x76cms, crayon, charcoal, black chalk on paper. Other images are of video research material.

Series of 14 large scale drawings in the form of a Myriorama - interchangeable panels which can be rearranged to create a near-endless variety of cohesive scenes. The myriorama was commissioned by the Our Picturesque Landscape Project to make a myriorama to include picturesque aspects and archetypal features of the Dee valley AONB whilst introducing elements that reflect the dilemmas and pressures of intense and often conflicting demands: to notice the barriers between marginal communities and the heritage sites and to help make connections between them.
