It’s elderflower season! Cordial recipe coming quickly…
I’m afraid I can’t carry you footage of the work prepare, a lot as I’d need to, because of it was all at nighttime – nevertheless it was a stupendous, mesmerising movie which purchased proper right down to seize the essence of the Welsh temperate rainforests we each went to go to varied months before now. Chances are you’ll take into account I wrote about it on the time: it was an inspiring and thought-provoking journey.
There have been sculptures produced from ferns (quite a lot of them dug out of my yard, the place they self-seed like loopy) hung from the ceiling: they clambered over the underside, and threw their ferny shadows up onto the partitions.
I purchased proper right here away feeling very proud, and re-inspired by these magnificent forests, so diminished nevertheless nonetheless so extraordinarily environment friendly. In case you’re all through the Newcastle space, you presumably can see it in your self: the exhibition is on till 17 June on the Hatton Gallery.
