The Edge of Ruin by photographer Marc Wilson is a survey of the imprints left on the British landscape by industry. Across the post-industrial United Kingdom the more obvious manifestations of the past—buildings, structures, edifices—crumble away or are erased unless intentionally preserved. What remains is a landscape reshaped by its role in Britain's industrial history, complete with silent markers: spoil heaps, grassed-over tramways, scarred hillsides, crevices carved out of Pennine hills, ridges on the western slopes of Dartmoor tors. Many of the sites are today within national parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, severed from their industrial origins, caught between nature and the ambitions of past generations. Wilson photographs them with neither nostalgia nor romanticism, working in restrained colour at the threshold where industry has receded and the ground itself becomes the only witness. The work is the third major book in his long-running landscape practice, after The Last Stand and A Wounded Landscape.
