Conversations With Time: Turvey III
Howard Selina
£450
Description
The original figure for this piece is one of 12 small figures that support a life-size monument in the church of All Saint's, in the village of Turvey, in Bedfordshire; approximately 7 miles north-west of Bedford. Some of the small figures supporting the tomb are quite badly damaged, but this one has survived the centuries reasonably intact. The main tomb is dedicated to John 1st Baron Mordaunt of Turvey and his wife Elizabeth Vere, though he seems to have been buried in Bedford; both of them having died in 1562, at the ages of 82 and 79 respectively. The monument dates from around the 1560. Elizabeth was the daughter of Sir Henry Vere of Addington, in Northamptonshire, and it was by a curious coincidence that I unknowingly photographed his effigy in the church at Great Addington, about two years after I'd visited this church in Bedfordshire. The church is usually open during daylight hours and is well worth a visit if you are in the area.

About the artist
Howard Selina
West Yorkshire, United KingdomHoward Selina
West Yorkshire, United KingdomFrom the LandArt movement of the 1970s, all the way through to our current reinvention of modernism, I've continued my exploration of our world; with the two words - Landscape & Time - probably best encapsulating both my past and my current concerns.
After living in New York, and then half a lifetime in London, I now live and work in the wilds of the South Pennines - producing work which I hope invites the viewer to reconsider, perhaps, their own relationship to our wondrous world - both real and imagined.
The landscape works, are walks documented with sequential images of the ground walked upon, rather than the landscape walked through. And time is explored through the use of imagery, derived from often forgotten monuments and figures that I've discovered in some of the small country churches dotted across our landscape; with a small prose poem, written specifically for each location, incorporated into the work.
