Wednesday 9th July 2025 7pm. Slide Talk “The Mythical Landscape: A Timeless Encounter”.

The Mythical Landscape: A Timeless Encounter?

Andrea’s talk presents different ways artists and poets have mapped the landscapes they encounter, whether those landscapes are real or imagined. Drawing on William Blake’s poetry and imagery, and medieval circular maps created for memory and pilgrimage, we can ask about the nature of timelessness as an experience. Although timeless topography is impossible in our temporal world, it could be that journeying towards this ideal can give artists paths and encounters connecting them to the natural world poetically, and to other artists of their past and future.
