The work is on view as part of Dartmoor: A Radical Landscape, a major group exhibition (19 October 2024–23 February 2025) exploring the region's evocative landscape through photography, film, and Land Art.
Hartley's work is formed by seven interconnected recycled solar panels: 'The work seeks to harness, store and focus the vibrant-energy and power of seven resonant standing stones,' explains the artist. 'Hand-dyed photographic cut-outs have been resin-encased into each collaged and painted panel. All seven panels are mounted onto a curved framework that encloses the viewer and places them at the vibrating focal point of the work.'
