You are on a walk on the family farm. There is a large wood, fields and a pond. It is a beautiful day and the sun shines. The trees are tall and swaying gently, the sky sparkling between the leaves way up high. Birds call. There is peace and the feeling of things growing and breathing. There is you and the natural world. There is a suspension, a listening awareness. You walk through the wood towards the pond. It lies reflecting, the willows on its edge making shadows over the water. Feeding fish are making circles on the surface every once in a while. The grass bends on the bank.
I sit and make drawings one after another which join up to make a bigger vision of this place. All of it is connected – the pond and the wood and you.
