Rupture is a poetic response to the post-mining Cornish landscape. Patrick Shanahan’s photographs of Britain and Europe investigate the contemporary cultural landscape, offering a seductive and unsettling re-imaging of modern urban and rural environments. He has been working on this project since April 2009 and covers an area very close to his home in Cornwall; from Falmouth on the south coast to Portreath on the north coast and up to Perranporth. This triangular area was one of the most intensely mined regions of Cornwall.
