The image above shows Professor Ronald Hutton talking about Pan against a background of one of Sara Hannant's photos at the closing event for Visions of The Horned God in the English Country Garden. The exhibition of Sara's photos took place over the past few days at a gallery space in Rhoda Street, London E2 in conjunction with Strange Attractor Press. The description on the publisher's website says:
"Sara Hannant’s dreamlike images, made in camera, evoke the untamed and mystical qualities of the Great God Pan and his equivalents. Hannant takes us on a magical journey through England’s gardens and parks, giving us insights into how the Horned God has manifested within classical and contemporary sculpture. Most of these mythological statues were selected by the social elite during their Grand Tour of Europe."
If you missed the exhibition, then you can still see a couple of the pictures here as well as more information. The picture below shows Sara against prints of her work. I also hope to post another of her photos on A Bad Witch's Blog in the near future, with Sara's permission.
A book featuring Sara Hannant’s photographs and texts by Simon Costin, Sara Hannant and Ronald Hutton will be available from Strange Attractor Press in Spring 2026.
