Also known as Hungers Lane, this is one of those local walks where the landscape seems to hold its own memories. Deep banks rise beside the path and trees lean overhead, creating a sheltered, shadowy passage through the countryside near Petworth. Local folklore says it is haunted — easy to imagine in such an atmospheric place.  Personally this is one of my favourite places to walk and one of my favourite photographs that I have taken over the years.
 
A sunken lane, or holloway, is an old route worn down over centuries by passing feet, hooves and wheels, together with erosion, until the path lies below the surrounding land. Walking here, I find myself thinking of all those who travelled it before me.
 
Using a process I have spent years developing, I hand-gild the colour giclée print with silver leaf. Its shifting lustre brings light into the darker tones, adding depth and a subtle shimmer that changes as you move around the room.
