EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming village of St Tudy in Cornwall, circa 1973. The lens of photographer Charles Woolf transports us to a simpler time, capturing the essence of rural life with remarkable clarity. In this particular shot, our gaze is drawn towards the heart of the village square, where an ancient water pump and granite trough stand as silent witnesses to generations gone by. These weathered structures exude a sense of resilience and history that is characteristic of Cornwall's rich heritage. The composition beautifully frames the church in the background, its towering spire reaching for the heavens. This juxtaposition between man-made architecture and nature's beauty serves as a reminder of how seamlessly they coexist in this picturesque corner of England. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported beyond mere aesthetics; it evokes feelings of community spirit and shared responsibility. One can almost imagine villagers gathering around this central point to exchange news or share stories from their day-to-day lives. Cornish artist Joyce Greenham has skillfully preserved this moment in time through her meticulous attention to detail. Her work serves not only as a visual record but also as an homage to Cornwall's cultural identity. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print invites viewers on a journey through time – an invitation to immerse oneself in the simplicity and tranquility that once defined life in St Tudy.
