Fascinating artistic correspondence, sketches and notes preparatory to the Presences of Nature exhibition held in Carlisle in 1982. The correspondence is all addressed to Neil Hanson, then Carlisle Museum Exhibitions' Officer and the exhibition's organiser who describes its aim 'to assemble a substantial body of new work reflecting the beauty and variety of this Cumbrian landscape and the diversity of response it engenders in some of our finest contemporary artists, writers, photographers and craftsmen.' Accompanying the manuscript material is the book that was published to mark the exhibition; some staining to the lower part of the foreedge. The collection comprises the following artists and writers: William Scammell: [4 ALS] A collection of letters by William Scammell, two on University of Newcastle headed notepaper. In his letters Scammell discusses the commission and his proposed submissions, including "The Screes" and "Monday,Monday". He also includes a biographical note and details of his published books. John Hilliard: [3 TLS] Three letters by the conceptual artist John Hilliard, discussing the commission and his reticence in being considered a 'Lakeland' artist. He proposes two submissions, 'Frozen' and 'Double Description-Coniston Water' and gives detailed framing instructions, hand-drawn in pen. Donald Wilkinson: [6 ALS; 1 handwritten biography; 1 lithographic Christmas card] A collection of letters and a signed coloured etching of a Lake District landscape by the printmaker Donald Wilkinson, made in connection with the exhibition in the Lake District in 1982. In his letters, Wilkinson discusses the commission and encloses the Christmas card as an example of his recent work. John A Davies: [5 ALS; 1 pencil sketch; 1 handwritten biography] A collection of letters by the photographer John A Davies. Davies expresses his interest in the commission "I think the show would prove very stimulating and I would be most interested to see how other contemporary artists see the Cumbrian landscape." He lists the 12 photographs to be exhibited along with an A5 page of annotated pencil sketches of each, and discusses their reproduction for the exhibition catalogue. Roger Palmer: [6 ALS; 1 postcard; 1 ANS] A collection of letters by the photographer Roger Palmer. In these succinct letters, Palmer discusses the commission and his proposed submissions. Faith Shannon: [3 ALS; 1 TLS; 1 handmade Christmas card] Letters by the bookbinder Faith Shannon MBE, in which she discusses the commission to produce leather bindings for the deluxe editions of the exhibition catalogue, and includes an estimate of costs. The signed 15x10cm Christmas card features a blind stamped "Happy Christmas" greeting. Geoffrey Key: [5 ALS] Five letters by the artist Geoffrey Key. In these exuberant letters to Hanson, Key discusses names for the mailing list and travel to Carlisle; and thanks Neil Hanson - "Many thanks for your card it goes great with my bus pass, Yours antiquatedly, Geoff". Julia Hills: [2 ALS] A brace of letters by the artist Julia Hills, discussing the commission of her dolls and the time frame of work. Melanie Sproat: [2 ALS, 1 exhibition agreement] A collection of letters by the clockmaker Melanie Sproat. In her neat letters, Sproat describes the essence of her work as exploring "the contrasting colour, structure and tactile qualities of precious and base metals", and proposes a wall clock inspired by the rugged Cumbrian landscape. Her second letter concerns damage sustained by her works while in storage. Mike Davis: [1 ALS, 2 TLS] A trio of letters by Mike Davis on Mimram Stained Glass Studio headed notepaper. Davis discusses his proposed exhibits, including a five light window for St John's Church, Digswell.
