Still Waters
Askam In  Furness 2022

Still Waters looks at family history and the active memory of land in the beautiful and atmospheric setting  of Askam in Furness, Cumbria.

Animator James Alexander and Photographer Lindsay Ward  worked with maker / researcher Alex Blackmore and Askam's Kevin Alexander on a year long project looking at the way a place can tell its own story through the people that live and work in it.  The work includes contributions from local schools and lead artist John Hall has produced text, sound  and video. Screenings and exhibitions took place throughout the project and in late 2022 in Askam and Ulverston. More are planned for 2023,  The story of the project is here, with the final video piece.

"Thanks to you all for creating this amazing work. Lindsay certainly captured some wonderful photographs. You certainly made me look at Askam in a different way, a very special way."

"The animation and music is just beautiful ... what a vivid and imaginative re-telling of a story, it evoked lots of emotions with what seemed like a few simple manoeuvres but very carefully thought through. "
