THROUGH THE TREES TO THE RIVER / Hayley Field
New digital publication
I am very excited to share my digital publication, made in collaboration with Caravan Studio.
Through the Trees to the River contains 28 watercolour maps that were made between 1 April and 6 June 2020 during the first COVID lockdown. The process of observing and recording the colours in the distant view of the river Deben brought solace and constancy at a difficult time.
"Sometimes I thought I could judge both the quality of the light of that particular day as well as my friend’s mood." Anna Mortimer
The publication is commissioned by The Landscape Research Group, a Research Group of the British Art Network (BAN). BAN is a Subject Specialist Network supported by Tate and the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, with additional public funding provided by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
