Description
'My encounters with nature are very personal. I am inspired by watching jays gathering acorns and hearing owls hooting.'
'In the shady parts of my garden, ferns grow. In the springtime, the ferns unfurl their tight, rounded, bundled leaves into rich green fingers. By the autumn, these same leaves are starting to go brown at the edges. This seems to be at the same time that the swallows gather to leave. Groups of swallows sit in great flocks on the electric wires that are behind my studio. Together with the ferns, they are markers that the summer has gone; that one season has finished and another is about to begin.'
Falling Into Autumn is the third book in a stunning seasonal quartet from beloved printmaker and illustrator Angela Harding. Each title in this pocket-sized series takes readers on a journey through the seasons, reflecting Angela's observations as the nature around her transforms and evolves over the course of a year. Taking in landscapes across the UK including views from her home studio in Rutland, to the Scottish wilderness, via the low-lying marshlands of Suffolk and the windswept hills of Yorkshire, the beautiful illustrations and evocative imagery of the prose make this the perfect book for nature lovers and art lovers everywhere.
Featuring over thirty of Angela Harding's favourite prints alongside observations taken from her books A Year Unfolding, Wild Light and Still Waters & Wild Waves, each short, small book in this seasonal collection is a beautiful new way to enjoy Angela's work and celebrate nature and wildlife across the UK at all times of year.
Collect all four titles: Spring Unfurled, Summer's Hum, Falling into Autumn, Winter's Song.
