Event Description

Exhibition open Monday – Saturday until 30 January 2025 (closed Sunday)

“Snowfall on Resting Hill”, a new exhibition of stunningly beautiful woodland photography, is open to all at Malvern Library (adjacent to Book and Cup Café, lower ground floor) until 30 January 2025. The exhibition consists of ten selected images captured within the sessile oak woodland on Resting Hill, Snailbeach, photographed by Shropshire-based movement and film artist Ray Jacobs.

Ray states: “For me, photography is all about the experience of walking through the landscape and encountering beauty in all its forms. The combination of soundscape, landscape, light, the changes of both outdoor weather and my own emotional weather, create moments to capture and translate into photographic image. On this day, I was entranced by the beauty of the sessile oaks highlighted by the blanket of snow.

“In the journey to the woods, I encountered a myriad of animal paths, snowdrifts, sometimes up to my waist, the silence of snow, and the ever-refreshing cold against my face. I walked in many, many circles; there were far too many exquisite forms and dances of these oaks to capture. I fell down on the aptly named Resting Hill… a lot, and stayed until the numbness in my toes and fingers signalled it was time for home.”

N.B. The exhibition is available to all visitors during core staffed hours; during “Libraries Unlocked” opening times, it’s available only to those who have registered for this upgrade to their membership. For library opening hours, visit the Worcestershire County Council website.
