Large Format Harp Player Print in Manchester Industrial Venue

1 October 2019 · Manchester

A large-format exhibition print dominates a freestanding display panel inside what appears to be a former industrial hall in Manchester. The photograph on the panel — sepia-toned, close and dramatic — shows a harpist mid-performance, hands splayed across strings that fan out like a grid of light. Above, brick barrel vaults and riveted red steel beams make the setting as much the subject as the work on the wall. The print earns its scale here: the intimacy of the musician set against the raw industrial bones of the venue pulls in two directions at once.
