Of Myth and Moor is a collection of fourteen original works inspired by the wildlife and folklore of Dartmoor. Presented in antique frames, the pieces bring together creatures that can be found on the moor today and those that, depending on who you ask, can still be found there too. Snakes and slugs sit alongside spectral visitors and local legends, blurring the line between natural history and folklore. Several works also incorporate gold leaf for the first time, representing the magic of a landscape where fact and fiction live side by side.
Known for her striking and signature silhouettes, Tabby Booth’s work beautifully treads the line between contemporary illustration and traditional folk art. Driven by a deep passion for interiors, each of her pieces is thoughtfully created with the home in mind, intricately threaded with recurring themes of mythical beasts, ancient folklore, and the enduring pull of the sea.
As a long-time friend and collaborator of Field System, we are absolutely delighted to welcome Tabby back for this special solo exhibition. This new body of work is a visual love letter to our local landscape, drawing rich inspiration from the wild, storied terrains of Dartmoor and Devon.
Please join us for an opening celebration on Saturday 27th June, 4-6pm. As ever, everyone is very welcome.
