Label Text:
Exhibition Label, 40 Years / 40 Artists, January 22–March 8, 2015:
Praeterita is the title of John Ruskin’s autobiography, a title he chose for a book which often reads like a travelogue. Riddy’s photographs are intended to echo the chapters of Praeterita and to reflect Ruskin’s affection for those moments when he stopped to consider and later remember the view. - Loretta Yarlow
