A NEW exhibition has just opened at Princetown?s High Moorland Visitor Centre, with the River Avon providing the main focus.

The black and white digital stills taken by artist Nancy Sinclair portray the range of moods and textures of the river, from its source in Aune Head Mire below Ryders Hill through Shipley Bridge to South Brent.

Nancy Sinclair said: ?While the images give a sense of changes in the river between the windswept grasslands of the open moor and the sheltered enclosed fields near South Brent, the project is by no means complete. The photographs in the exhibition have just begun to capture the complexity of this river.

?My studies of the Avon have just begun ? I will definitely continue to try and capture the essence of the river and the excitement it contains for me.?

The project was funded through a grant from the Tarka Country Millennium Awards.

The exhibition runs until October 20 and is open every day between 10am and 5pm.
