Riverscape Series – Oddford Brook 4
The Riverscape series of wall panels explores the characteristics of the banks of Oddford Brook, and especially the clearing behind Rebecca’s chapel studio in Tisbury. Rain and runoff water is filtered and purified by the roots of water-loving alder and willow before it joins the brook, and the roots help to stabilise the land. The nitrate-rich soil at this margin produces an abundance of wild plants like nettle, comfrey, dock and dandelion, a habitat for a host of insects and small creatures, and a wildlife corridor for birds and animals. Brook banks nurture the environment in many ways and are often overlooked.
Riverscape Series – Oddford Brook 4 has imprints of plantain, dandelion, wild mint, wild geranium, and other wild plants that are found on the brook bank. The palette reflects a profusion of comfrey and wild geranium. Working amid the wild plants, each work is a direct response to the landscape and experience of place.
