1. traces

I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.
— John Muir - John of the Mountains

The new work has begun. 

a slow walk

a slow walk in the garden reveals hidden beauty. Standing still and listening to the breeze in the leaves, the rustle in the grass of a darting water dragon , the ducks on the lake. Looking up to discover two Tawny Frogmouths staring down at me. 

Place

A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image “
— Joan Didion

traces of landscape 01.04.17 - 31.03.18

A new year begins with Autumn in the garden. The theme of this years work is' Traces of Landscape'.

These trees are magnificent, but even more magnificent is the sublime and moving space between them, as though with their growth it too increased.
— Rilke
