Screen Deva 2010 presents:Artists Installation -
Private Views Made Public
By Patricia MacKinnon-Day
Artist Patricia MacKinnon-Day has created a stunning multiple screen installation that invites viewers to share a unique viewpoint and moments of contemplation as they look out across six spectacular landscapes along mid-Cheshire’s Sandstone Ridge that roll through night and day, season through season.
MacKinnon-Day has been working with six local people who ‘own’ spectacular private panoramic views of the six historical hillforts overlooking Helsby, Woodhouse, Eddisbury, Kelsborrow, Beeston and Maiden Castle and negotiated with them to access and make these secret places public.
Created using time lapse cinematography, these short films remind us of the enduring nature of these ethereal, mysterious ancient monument sites, that date back to the Iron Age.
MacKinnon-Day is an artist living in Chester, who has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally, and has been commissioned to create significant and ambitious contemporary art works.
She approaches her work with the spirit of investigation, teasing out the clues, to past and present human activity.
