I am delighted to announce that the long awaited Imagining Woodlands book is now available.
Imagining Woodlands is a collection of short essays as a culmination of a 2 year project exploring human perceptions of woodlands.
In 2019, I created an exhibition of pages from my sketchbook of experimental images I had been making for the project. Once up on the wall, I realised that the images needed to be seen in a different way. They needed a more intimate experience, perhaps to be held in the hand by its audience. I also felt I had stories to tell, and so a book format seemed the best way to make this happen.
And so I have created this book. The book reflects on my work with palynologist and archaeologist Dr Suzi Richer and literature researcher Dr Freya Sierhuis to discover cross disciplinary perceptions of woods and forests. The text also reflects on my thoughts and memories of woodlands, and includes my re-telling of two folk tales and images of the woodland experiments from my sketchbook. It also includes a generously contributed essay by Dr Sierhuis.
The book can be pre-ordered below and will be posted out in about 2 weeks time. Thank you for your support.
