A new interpretation of Emily Bront's classic novel Wuthering Heights can be seen at the home of the late author. Rosalind Whitman's etchings based on the book are on display at Bront Parsonage Museum until April 27.
The artist was at the museum on Saturday for the opening of her exhibition 'Black and White in Wuthering Heights'.
Rosalind sees Wuthering Heights as an immaculately structured, visionary and emotionally-extreme novel that asks perplexing questions about life and death. She says: "In my compositions I have attempted to create a visual parallel with Emily Bront's words.
"I have tried not only to capture some of the extreme emotions, but to encompass the cerebral inquiry at the heart of this extraordinary novel."
Black and White in Wuthering Heights features 16 etchings showing scenes from the book, including Lockwood's Dream, Storm over the Heights, and the Death of Heathcliff.
Rosalind etches her pictures on a metal plate, the design drawn with a needle and cut into the plate with acid. The etched lines are then filled with ink, and the plate put through a printing press so the picture can be transferred to paper.
The museum is open every day (11am-5pm). Phone 01535 642323.
