Nether Wood by Adam Clutterbuck ‘Nether Wood is a small area of willow, ash and beech woodland that has grown up among the slag heaps resulting from centuries of lead mining in the heart of the Mendip Hills in Somerset. Abandoned since 1885, the site has been reclaimed by nature, the ugly landscape partly softened by vegetation, the settling reservoirs choked by plant growth and inhabited by waterfowl. My photography attempts to evoke the atmosphere that I feel in this still-poisoned place – twisted branches and ref lective dark pools set against the turning of the seasons. I chose a freeform lensbaby to deliver the style of imperfect images I wanted.’
