I've shelf-surfed to bring you a vivid reinterpretation of one of my favourite tomes. January, last year I was magnetised to the introduction of the beautiful Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights. On the the first five pages is a haunting picture perfect description of Heathcliff''s home.
Talented photographer Tony Amos and I got together and created our version of the legendary home. I previewed the images on Instagram yesterday and I thought I would share it here on SnOOp.
"Above the chimney were ….a couple of
horse-pistols and by way of ornament, three gaudily painted canisters
disposed along its ledge”.

"One end indeed,
reflected splendidly both light and heat from ranks of immense pewter
dishes, interspersed with silver jugs and tankards, towering row after
row, on a vast oak dresser, to the very roof... It's entire anatomy lay
bare to an enquiring eye, except where a frame of wood laden with
oatcakes and clusters of legs of beef, mutton and ham concealed it."

“He’ll love and hate equally under cover,
and esteem it a species of impertinence to be loved or hated again …rather slovenly, perhaps, yet not looking
amiss with his negligence, because he has an erect and handsome figure; and
rather morose.”

structures,…green : one or two heavy black ones lurking in the shade.”
