Nature, Colour and Reflection

A walk, a gathering of colour from what is in season, and an afternoon making with what we found.

We start with a slow walk — an hour, no distance to cover — collecting leaves, bark, seed heads and anything else the season is offering.

Back in the studio we work with what we gathered: pressing, rubbing, staining paper, arranging. The colours of a place in a particular month turn out to be quite specific.

Sturdy shoes and a coat matter more than any artistic ability.
