The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Starting from an interest in the painterly influences that shaped 18th Century landscape architect Lancelot “Capability” Brown’s vision in response to the “lost” Brown landscape of Stapleton Park, Out of a Morass experiments with alternative readings of his legacy and the influence of culture on our visions of landscape. It charts arcadian vistas echoing across history, from Nicolas Poussin’s Landscape with a Man Killed by a Snake (1648) to the graphic design of pesto jars. A series of experimental research exercises weave together these speculative results to construct an image of the “lost” landscape.The work was produced in collaboration with The Follies of Youth and commissioned by Pavilion (Leeds) as a year-long research project presented at the Hepworth Wakefield in April 2015 Out of a Morass was performed and designed by: Giles Bailey, Georgina Buchanan, Isabella Carreras, Jade Cradden, Annabel Crosby, Naomi Gilby, Ryan Thompson and Miriam Thorpe.
