Fosdyke Bridge from FARMED - the first part of the Fenland Trilogy

This print featured in the exhibition Paul Hart : The Fens at Etherton Gallery (Tucson, AZ), in the Spring 2022.

In the essay ‘Constructing Fate : Paul Hart’s ‘Farmed’ Landscapes Collier Brown writes ;

“The landscapes in Paul Hart’s series, Farmed, are at once beautiful and beleaguered, full and empty, alive and dead. The disappearances between these conditions are the true subjects. One feels their presence in every photograph....Hart’s photographs raise important questions about possession, ownership, mobility, stewardship, history, memory, perspective - the list goes on. But none of these would matter much if these photographs were not, in their attention to the poetry of the place, earnest and moving”

The Fenland Trilogy is published as stand-alone monographs FARMED / DRAINED / RECLAIMED by Dewi Lewis publishing Dewi Lewis

Collier Brown is a photography critic, poet and literary scholar. He teaches at Harvard Harvard University and is the founding editor of Od Review www.odreview.com

Very pleased to share that ‘Sea Bank’ has been shortlisted for the Mannington Nature Award 2026

This award celebrates artistic practice that connects with the natural world and our relationship with the environment so I am particularly proud that work from The Fenland Trilogy has been recognised. Later this year shortlisted works will be exhibited at the historic Mannington Hall Estate (Norfolk, England) which has a long history of careful stewardship and deep connection to landscape.

In the essay ‘Picturing the Polder’ Francis Hodgson writes of the series ;

“Paul Hart is a photographer interested in the slow harvesting of hidden truth from the ordinary places that most of us pass by. He works in an unfashionable idiom with slow cumbrous equipment (not just old-fashioned analogue photography, but medium format analogue photography, slower still) in an unfashionable place. He seeks to find the bits of the land that speak their stories, and to transmit their importance in views in which, typically, the absolute lack of melodrama demands slow looking and brings slow revelation. “

NOW OPEN / GATHERED LEAVES 📚

I’m very pleased to be exhibiting recent publications at Vibrant Matter in Newark, Nottinghamshire. ⚡️

In partnership with Newark Book Festival, the gallery has been reimagined as an interactive exhibition of published and self-published works in celebration of the printed page. My recent book FRAGILE (Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2024) and earlier publications DRAINED and RECLAIMED are presented alongside works spanning a wide spectrum of other creative practices including fine art, graphic design, illustration.

Vibrant Matter is a new contemporary art gallery working with a range of internationally established artists, connected by their experimental approach to the investigation of materials and process, with a focus on experimental photography.

Signed copies of all three books are available to purchase direct from the gallery :
