EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Andrew Tryner transports us to the serene and mystical world of Kirkham Priory in North Yorkshire. The image captures a general view of this Augustinian priory, showcasing its magnificent ruins against the backdrop of the tranquil River Derwent. As we gaze upon the reflection of this medieval masterpiece on the water's surface, we are reminded of its rich history and religious significance. The priory stands proudly amidst nature's embrace, with lush greenery framing its weathered stones. Its crumbling walls tell tales of centuries past, evoking a sense of awe and reverence for those who once sought solace within these sacred grounds. The river flowing gently beside it adds an element of serenity, as if whispering secrets from times long gone. Andrew Tryner skillfully captures not only the physical beauty but also the spiritual essence that permeates Kirkham Priory. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate our place in history and reflect upon our own connection to something greater than ourselves. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even in ruin, there is profound beauty to be found. It beckons us to explore our fascination with ancient architecture and encourages us to appreciate how time can transform mere structures into enduring symbols of faith and devotion.
