This is a new exploration for a new season – Weristeria – a set of six prints which I’m excited to share with you.

W e r i s t e r i a .. is a verb meaning ‘to wander longingly through the forest in search of mystery.’

Ten sets printed only. The paper, a sturdy, textured watercolour paper.

To purchase your set email me here with your details and I’ll forward a payment link.

Currently with free shipping to UK addresses. Overseas shipping also available.

Each set comes packaged with a wood block stand into which prints slide and may be switched to alternate the display. To bring a sense of ancient woodland from out to in and onto your desk.  

Captured last Spring during long & welcome walks through favourite woodland nearby and as the days began to warm.  I cycled on each occasion, with my camera kit packed in a backpack, tugging heavy at my shoulders. Just a few miles from home, Durford Wood is close to Rogate and overlooks Harting Down. Breathing in the scents and sounds of the forest was such a tonic for the oddness of the time. 

A whole year has elapsed and the Spring sights are about to burst forth once again.  The young, fresh leaf growth will soon dazzle, the buds pop, the bracken crosiers unfurl their wonderful Fibonacci fibres.  And then the turn of the bluebells to dance and nod. They will follow. It’s said that bluebells ring at daybreak to call fairies to the woods.  

Printed on beautiful, textured Hahnemühle 190GS William Turner paper, these are stand alone 6 x 4” prints which may also be framed.

Here are the six photographs which make up the set.

Half the day has elapsed already and we’re halfway through half term.  I’ve half a plan for what to write here and am allotting myself a meagre half hour to do so. That’s just how it has to be today. Simple as.

I’ve beautiful music playing –  Chloe Foy  – so will cut to the quick and get typing.

The snow has disappeared and there are signs of Spring and that’s just as it should be. Much is not. Yet, I’m a glass half full kinda human bean. Continuing in work & home life to celebrate the everyday moments that continue to inspire and encourage, excite and evolve.

Fizz & fermentation

Moments like discovering Kickass Kombucha brewed locally and by a genius young chef with a brand new business.  Earth to Oven has a freshly baked website and promises a fine new street food menu. Roll on the Spring and Alfie can roll out these delicious wraps and donuts from the trailer. In the meantime, his offer of a seasonal takeaway menu is on point. Try those sourdough donuts; they are perfect crumb-free desk snacks.

Uovo

Banana skins & coffee mugs didn’t feature in the brief but the blue bakelite table with carpet squares cushioning all the precision-sharpened tools in the barn light, it just shrieked shoot me.

The marvellous work in progress which the pictured gouges are being urged by Alison’s magic hands to create, that sits alongside, just out of shot. Half-finished. Ok, so that might be an exaggeration; there are still some 700 inverted pyramids to carve! Jump across to view ‘Uovo’ and watch it reveal itself week on week. Already a phenomenal and beautiful giant of a piece and so pertinent right now, at this moment in human time.

Family at home.

We deliberated and decided on the favourite images from a fun family winter shoot which included outdoor sculpture pieces also from Alison Crowther, as above. 

Lots of characterful and genuine moments between teenage siblings and bathed in delicious winter light.
