BOTANICAL GRAND TOUR

This year I have embarked on a series of collaborative exchanges which has seen me driving all over the UK four collaborative stays with cabins, bothys and cottages as part of my creative mission. My aim is to undertake my own Grand Tour, and also take some female ownership of a tradition which was almost entirely undertaken by men back in the day. I set up my temporary outdoor studio in each new location and forage for local native flora and fauna to make a set of intaglios. These will create a visual record of the landscape of Britain by capturing a moment in the seasonal life of the landscape around the cabins I am staying in around the country. Follow here for details about my casting adventures! I have loved travelling the country experiencing new landscapes, swapping artwork made onsite using flowers from the surrounding area, for a few nights in some truly beautiful cabins and huts.

I am always keen to hear from cabins or cottage owners who would be keen to collaborate with me and become part in my Botanical Grand Tour itinerary.
