Gardens, plants and carvings
Lyrical gardens with hidden areas waiting to be discovered
By their very nature, drawings are an invitation to the viewer to ‘listen in’.
The Rococo Gardens are held in a coombe, deep in the Cotswolds, surrounded by steep slopes of mature trees and vistas to open fields. I have filled sketchbooks with pencil drawings of lyrical pathways, vegetable plots and flower beds and the intimate ‘rooms’ of these lovely gardens.
Iona provided a place of quiet to explore meditative mark making, illustrating emotions felt while exploring stone carvings in Iona Abbey; a multitude of tiny pencil lines, each a prayer.
Stone interpretations of foliage are fascinating – this was my starting point. These drawings of regal ferns, become poetic and prophetic.
