The Gleaners

‘But the darkness is a kind of blanket, and she comforts me…’
This week, we join Sally on a sleepless night, on a journey through Millet’s The Gleaners (1857), via her character Pond Man. Follow her through this meditation on voice, place, and the spaces in between events.
More information on the painting can be found here.
The wonderful piano music in the opening section is ‘Doubt’, by Paul Sebastian. The guitar piece is by Dylan Gwalia.
This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen.
