Christine Eagon SELECTED PHOTOGRAPHS I love to explore the landscape by foot, on slow meditative walks. I find my imagery and inspiration almost everywhere I go; sometimes in our quiet Vancouver home neighborhood and sometimes thousands of miles away. I feel a deep connection to Southwest England and Cornwall, where I follow footpaths across ancient ceremonial landscapes where one might encounter a sacred grove of trees, holy well, or a circle of standing stones. In my art, I honor the spiritual atmosphere of these places, including both the seen and unseen aspects of an environment. Holga Toy Camera gallery: My photography is a visual pilgrimage from the sacred hill known as Glastonbury Tor to the westernmost tip of England at Cornwall. These photographs pay homage to the ceremonial landscapes of ancient Britain that I have explored for two decades. Images in this series are made with a Holga camera and printed with traditional silver based methods. Polaroid Transfers: The first of my many journeys to England began around the Summer Solstice 1990. I started to work with Polaroid transfers and other mixed media imagery of ancient Britain the next year. I combine Polaroid films and acrylic paints on paper, making one-of-a-kind art pieces, known as Postal Odyssey, which chronicle my travels. --CE : Chalice Well Vesca Piscis : Cloister : Faerie Tree : Lyonnesse Sunset : St. Michaels, Mt.
