Description
The Arborealists in Lady Park Wood brings together the art and science of two distinct worlds. In this unique collaboration, professional artists have created paintings and drawings inspired by trees and woodland, while ecologists have studied the natural history of an ancient wood on the Wye Gorge. The artworks are matched with commentary from George Peterken, who has led research in the wood since the 1980s. The wood, which has been left to grow naturally for up to 150 years, provides a fascinating case study for ecologists and artists alike. Trees such as beech, oak, lime, ash, yew, hazel, and many others have faced numerous challenges, including disease, drought, storms, and snow. The resulting landscape is one of great beauty and complexity. This book offers a rare glimpse into the intersection of art and ecology, where two seemingly disparate worlds come together to deepen our understanding of each other and their respective subjects.
