SLOW LOOKING: THE ART OF NATURE (HB)

An astounding visual compendium of artworks that illuminates the deep connection between artistic expression and the natural world, This guided observation of nature offers a whole new way of contemplating the world – all through the medium of art. Olivia Meehan has mixed paintings, drawings, sculpture, textiles and decorative arts from across the entire period of human creation and territory in thought-provoking juxtapositions. On every page, she invites us to find something new in a familiar landscape and to experiment in the observation of nature’s wonders, taking us on a meditative journey from fields, mountains, forest and glaciers to lakes, ponds, waterfalls and rivers and on to sunrises, rainbows, comets, clouds, constellations and so much more.
