The Hand of Time: Photography by Clifford Morris, Poems by Semba Jallow-Rutherford
 |
|---|
The Industrial Revolution, which began around 1750, was the cause of the most dramatic changes seen in England up until that time.Such change was not seen again until the last decades of the 20th century which much of the industry went into decline to be replaced by modern technologies and service industries.
The artists have tried to show, through their photographs and poems, the effects of this decline on a variety of industrial sites which had out-lived their usefulness to mankind. Nature moves quickly to take over what is abandoned by man and the particular depicted would only stay this way for a short time. They must be adapted for alternative uses or lost. The melancholy results of their abandonment lend themselves very readily for the artists to record their poignant impressions of the hand of time. Both photographer and peot are disabled and feel that what is been happening to these buildings somehow reflects the frailty of mankind which they understand well due to their own circumstances
