Dartmoor based artist and Farmer who believes land layering is possible - She/her - Team waxcap/dung beetle/nature - it’s always more complicated than that!
- So, about @naturalengland.bsky.social’s peat map and its hallucinatory peat inventions… and about our government’s push to get ai into our official maps… (Side note: I’d definitely go see ‘hallucinatory peat inventions’ if they were a band, probably folk, probably playing a rural pub…)
- Long tailed tits in the branches. Tiny drawing of tiny birds For sale if anyone wants a small drawing done by a human who stood under a tree and watched how the birds live.
- So, having managed 10 years of daily* weather journal drawings I thought I’d start the new year showing some This is not a resolution,and it won’t be a daily update, but here have a few days… (The point of the sketching is not perfection, it’s just doing it/ trying to get the feel if the day down)
- For ten years, everyday, I’ve sketched the weather. Daily quick drawings, as a way of making me observe, think and pick up a pencil, a pen, a brush. I’m not stopping, but it’s worth celebrating the achievement. 46 sketchbooks, 3,558(?) sketches.
- The wild hunt So mid winter isn’t all twinkling lights and jolly feasts. There are darker tales to be told… This year, here on the western hills of the uk, the sudden cold east wind, gusting with a hungry strength, has made the old dark stories of the wild hunt creep closer. ⬇️
- Ah, almost midnight on Christmas Eve Time for some Aidan Moffat ghost stories for Christmas, followed by Dylan Thomas. Happy Christmas
- Have you noticed that the dark solstice is when we as humans gather, eat, drink, give, laugh, love, for day after day? We face the long nights & push them back together. Like we are programmed to look for joy in the dark. Resistance is community joy, based on sharing and light Happy solstice
