“Claude Glass”



2017



The title references the Claude Glass invented by the seventeenth century painter Claude Lorrain. The black glass, or mirror, was used to frame the landscape and employed as a device extensively to by the picturesque landscape painters of the eighteenth and nineteenth century.​



“This is a collaboration between Inge Panneels and photographer and mountaineer Kevin Greenfield. William Wordsworth famously walked up Snowdon from Bedgellert. The artists retraced his steps where possible, and photographed the landscape at various points, framing it through a cast Claude Glass made by Panneels. The dark grey cast glass show has a highly polished surface, which reflects the surrounding landscape when placed strategically. The reflected image creates a live landscape within a landscape thus creating on one plane two simultaneous points of view. It is reminiscent of the idea multiverses explored in the Dark Materials trilogy by David Pullman. The photographs record the temporary and illusory moment of simultaneous vision. The Claude Glass thus offers not only an historical link between the 18th and the 21st century but also an alternative vision of the landscape” (catalogue text Seven Ways Up)




“In the photographs taken by Greenfield, the dark glass cast reflects the landscape in a picturesque manner. Yet, when the glass is placed in different locations, it reflects the surrounding architecture. The glass work is thus irrevocably anchored to its geographical location. On the other hand, the photographs are firmly rooted in the landscape and Wordsworth words and transport you there, irrespective of your location in the world.”
(catalogue text Wordsworth and Basho: Walking Poets – 2016)
