Artwork description:
I live very close to the The Roaches and have photographed the Gritstone Formations a great many times.
Ramshaw Rocks are in the Peak District National Park and form a gritstone escarpment which is popular with rock climbers and hikers.
The Roaches, Hen Cloud and Ramshaw Rocks are formed from a thick bed of coarse sandstone (Gritstone) from the Namurian age circa 315 million years ago. Gritstone from the Peak District was used to mill flour, to grind wood into pulp for paper and to sharpen blades.
The Winking Man Rock formation is part of the Ramshaw Rocks section of The Roaches. It can be seen from the Leek–Buxton road about 5 miles outside Leek. It looks like a face sticking out of the hillside, and as you travel past in a car towards Buxton the 'eye' appears to wink, as a pinnacle of rock passes behind the face as a consequence of parallax.
Materials used:
Giclée print using pigment inks on Hahnemühle Baryta FB paper.
