Mother Nature: Framed

 

 

Mother Nature: Framed is a year-long series that is primarily about noticing; seasonal markers, local shifts in weather, what nature is doing right on our doorstep. It also explores the unseen work of mothers, the invisible load that perhaps only comes to light on high days and holidays. Through this work I am aiming to draw together threads from life and nature, delving into folk stories and traditions, as well as more modern markers from mother’s lives.

April: The bluebells are my home

April has taken me into the folklore of cowslips and cuckoos, hares that lay eggs, and rituals of celebrating rebirth and a new season. But mostly, it has taken me home; to the fields and woods I grew up in where the bluebells have - for me and many around me - always marked the full turn into spring.

The woods wake up, and so do we, fully noticing that Mother Nature has in fact been working her magic all winter long.
