Walking the line

Land art, as distinct from landscape art, has always been an interesting  genre: Andrew Goldsworthy, Richard Long, Hamish Fulton, have all left  transient marks on the landscape in the course of their practice. It is  Paul Klee who is famous for his quote: “Taking a line for a walk…”.  And that is precisely what photographer/artist Zoe Childerley did. Lauris Morgan-Griffiths talked to her about walking and documenting the unmarked border between England and Scotland, the results of which can be seen at Solaris gallery.

Future of St Leonard’s church explored

James Burton’s original seafront church was destroyed by a doodlebug in July 1944. A replacement was designed by the well regarded Gilbert Scott brothers and finished in 1961. The later church is now in geological trouble and was closed by the Church of England a few years ago. It is an exceptional building (Grade II listed) that should not be lost. A recent meeting addressed ways of saving it. Bernard McGinley reports and took the photos.
