Bringing All The Things That Run

Bringing All The Things That Run by Maryrose Crook is an arid landscape scattered with mysterious luminous objects. The hills are bleakly barren and cut away in the middle ground to reveal their underlying structures. Dramatic clouds above the hills draw your eye towards a lake that quietly shimmers in the background and seeps down slowly to the front. It’s a mysterious place full of crevices and channels and water that quietly laps around those enigmatic objects – are they glass or strange living organisms? If you look closely there are scenes within scenes and what appears to be a convent or church submerged under water.
