Illuminating Landscapes: Prosiect torgoch
In collaboration with artist Sean Harris the North Wales Rivers Trust are showcasing a unique art installation at a secret location near Llyn Padarn. This artwork, inspired by the iconic Eryri Torgoch, will demonstrate the need to improve habitat to help protect emblematic species like the Torgoch in a captivating and memorable way.
Sean’s work is a celebration of the landscapes he loves, capturing and projecting visions that resonate deeply with the shared experiences of the people and the land. His art isn’t confined to traditional spaces; instead, he brings his creations to life within the environments that inspire them, making each piece a truly immersive experience.
For Sean, art is more than something to be admired from a distance it’s a living, breathing entity that interacts with its surroundings. In a world where galleries can be scarce, especially in many parts of the UK, Sean’s approach brings art directly to the people. By projecting light and shadows onto the landscape itself, he creates moments of connection that are both intimate and profound. These installations are not just about seeing but about feeling, experiencing, and remembering. They bind communities together, creating powerful, enduring memories that stay with us long after the lights have faded.
What truly sets Sean’s work apart is the magic that happens when his projections meet the environment. Like the dance of light in a camera obscura, his work illuminates the surfaces it touches, sparking new dialogues and reimagining the familiar. Each projection is a conversation with the land, a moment where art and nature come together.
Sean’s ability to turn ordinary surfaces into canvases reminds us that art doesn’t have to be confined within the walls of a gallery; it can be as vast and dynamic as the landscapes themselves.
We are excited to be collaborating with Sean Harris on this journey, using art to celebrate and raise awareness for the landscapes and species, like the endangered Eryri Torgoch. Through his work, we are reminded of the powerful connection between people, art, and the natural world.
This exhibit is part of Prosiect Torgoch funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
