The River Helford, Dowr Mahonyer The Helford River in Cornwall divides the top of the Lizard Peninsula (Cornwall’s most southerly point) from the rest of Cornwall. It is largely navigable and tidal and lined with ancient woods of sessile oak; it is actually a ria – a drowned river valley and fed by a number of small streams into its many creeks.

The principal creeks on the Helford are Ponsontuel Creek, Mawgan Creek, Polpenwith Creek, Frenchman’s Creek, Port Navas Creek, and Gillan Creek. The shoreline is over 30 miles long.

The name may come from the two words: ‘Heyl’, an estuary in Kernewek and ‘ford’ in English.

I think the first time I became aware of the Helford was one late winter, while we were staying with friends in their old stone farmhouse on the Lizard. We awoke to one of those extraordinary snow-clamped silent mornings when it feels that the world has been temporarily stopped – something has been jammed into the spokes. The roads were empty of vehicles but filled hedge to hedge with deep snow. We walked the mile or so to the Gear Farm Shop, wading through virgin untrod whiteout with redwings and

fieldfares flitting past. Gear, named for its proximity to an Iron Age fort, sits above the Helford, a hilltop providing panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Standing, breath smoking, while eating an almost too hot steaming pasty in the cold morning air and staring across a fieldscape of white with the odd yellow daffodil field and the grey blue river below, was a beautiful moment - an almost once-ina-lifetime moment! This was the basis for a large canvas that month.

After this I met the Helford more intimately, painting another canvas on her shore in a blizzard; and then a series of watercolours of the Gweek boatyards while visiting old friends of my parents from their art school days, and finally canoeing out of Frenchman’s Creek into the wide exposed expanse of the river at the will of the tide. I stayed in and painted Frenchman’s numerous times for over 20 years or so with the river on our ‘doorstep’, tantalisingly close, and soon felt that I needed to join these individual visits and moments together; to travel and get to know the Helford in her entirety. Never to know the river like a resident or someone who has worked and lived their lives next to or on her, but nonetheless

to make a sum of her parts to portray and depict this glorious Cornish watercourse.

Another time, I was invited by a disparate group of tree enthusiasts to celebrate the publication of Oliver Rackham’s book about the Helford woodlands with a guided walk through Merthen Woods. This secret pillow of tree canopy sitting opposite Frenchman’s Creek and above its own small creek is claimed to be one of the oldest and most intact ancient woodlands in Cornwall. Like much of the Helford’s riparian banks it is out of bounds to the public; old estate land still owned by the same ancestral family. Here time has stood still; nothing much has changed for millennia, a place governed by the seasons and tides; the deer push their paths between the oaks, the silent river quietly touches the trees’ toes and tips of twigs before retreating once again to expose the gleaming mudflats for the egrets and curlew to stride upon. The woods insulate the river from the outside world; attempt to hide this riverine world. Briefly a small boat’s motor will break the silence passing on its voyage from Gweek to the sea, then silence is restored once again.

Muddy The tide pulls away, the river drops Draws back to reveal The flats and flatness Of the beautiful mudden bed A world of grey and silver, metallic Where molluscs follow their own roads And shells are left as midden Where waders pick through the silt and sediment And fish recently browsed Everything is horizontal layered fleeting, washed, transient This shine of wet That reflects the skies, clouds and sunlight And exposes what's both above and below Makes everything clear January 2022

Autumn Helford late afternoon

This big wide expanse of estuary spreads out between here and the mouth of Polwheveral Creek mirroring the heavens above, catching the late low light The Helford has such beautiful sunsets.

Once again, I find myself positioned on the end of the creek side path near Powders, above the confluence of Frenchman’s and the Helford. There is always a good chance of a light show here in the late afternoon. This big wide expanse of estuary spreads out between here and the mouth of Polwheveral Creek mirroring the heavens above, catching the late low light, reflecting the skies and clouds in its ebb and flow and shining flats like a cinema screen laid flat on its back. The banks and hillocks are pillowed and mounded, framing this performance, variously silhouetted dark or backlit with oaken halos of golden filigree, layered in subtle tones of dark foliage. A gig cuts through the centre of this vision, her crew’s voices and rhythmic clunk of oars quite clear, carried across a mile of waters. The boat leaves a silver flickering filament that disintegrates then disappears.

Curlew, sandpiper and greenshank call beautifully, exploiting the perfect acoustics, their whistles, piping and cries rise from their unseen wading.

Mud-coloured they are invisible to me up here. Their calls are of delight, exclamation and alarm. The harsh shriek of a heron, guttural and raucous, shatters the calm and announces sundown. The ball of the sun

slowly sinks upriver towards Gweek, where the river shrinks to just a few visible bends between the dark oaks, past Merthen, past Tremayne, the trench of the silver river lying ready to catch it.

Twice daily the estuarine waters are drawn back; slowly almost imperceptibly the tideline retreats, leaving behind a plane of wet shining mudflats.

Smooth as newly washed wet lino once revealed, it reflects the sky, the clouds, the overhanging oaks, the lights of the day (or night). It shines with hues of grey and brown and tints of sienna, copper, gold and silver. Autumnal foliage, sunsets and sunrises can be mirrored in this variously soupy, clayey, gooey or firm substrate to give beautiful glassy backdrops for the birds to stride and tiptoe across. The mud itself is soon pockmarked with their dainty footsteps, amongst the discarded shells of sea snails and bivalves and the casts of burying worms and other invertebrates. sept 2021

Powders

My game became more of a struggle, holding onto the tree and the canvas and trying to paint as well. Furiously mixing paints in a rising wind now blowing across the river full force, painting the canvas, trying to stand back to appraise . . .

A six-foot stretched canvas seemed suitable, wide enough to cope with that vast exposed sway of mud and estuary. I carried it from the van parked amongst the trees above the river, down the track and a flight of steps and along the bank to lean it against the stump of an old, felled Monterey pine. This seemed to work as a good easel with the panoramic view above the confluence of Frenchman’s Creek and the Helford. The eye was led upriver with the perspective of the narrowing grey waters, past Merthen and Tremayne towards Gweek in the distance. Sunshine lit the breeze-ruffled waters and mudflats to shine and glisten in the low winter light. The silver mud of the creek shone beneath the dark surrounding woods. I worked on the canvas with speed, knowing that the weather was fickle and could change in a moment. I smeared and brushed on thick slabs of grey river and dark silhouetted oaks. I worked in a frenzy on a precarious footing where the ground sloped away below me. I slipped and staggered between paints and canvas. The breeze grew stronger and the painting started to gain a life of its own, lifting and shifting away from the tree trunk. I took my scarf

and tied the stretcher on the back of the canvas to the tree with the help of the ivy to hand. A gust picked the whole thing up and slammed it back down. My game became more of a struggle, holding onto the tree and the canvas and trying to paint as well. Furiously mixing paints in a rising wind now blowing across the river full force, painting the canvas, trying to stand back to appraise, moving around the painting to reach the top and the sides, grabbing it with every extra gust. A full workout! The ground became slippery, paint pots blew around, my palette was a mess, the brushes in the mud, my body bruised.

The rain came in, at first a fine drizzle but soon became heavier in horizontal sheets. I wondered how much of my painting would survive, remain. The sun disappeared, that lovely light was turned off, the sky darkened. I decided enough was enough and untied the painting to drag it to shelter out of the wind and rain. Bruised and exhausted, I had been knocked over and overstretched; most of the paint seemed to have landed on me but I had made something. I would have to wait until I was back in the studio to see whether it was worthwhile.

Ceramics For the Helford River project Kurt Jackson collaborated with celebrated Cornish potter Peter Swanson.

Together they created a series of reduction stoneware in various sizes from Cornish and Devon clays and experimented with glazes made of mud and wood ash sourced along the Helford.

Mud exposed at low tide has always intrigued Jackson both aesthetically and as an important habitat for biodiversity. It contains minerals and soils washed down the watercourse by natural processes as well as by historical mining and agricultural activity; almost ‘an essence of the river’. With this in mind,

it therefore seemed logical that this material could work as a glaze and it has proved itself as one with a beautiful light grey shine. Alongside this, wood ash from Helford holly, oak and blackthorn trimmings has created glorious honey-coloured glazes.
