Description

Distance and Memory is a meditation on remoteness, exploring the beauty of the far north of Scotland through the seasons. Peter Davidson's essays are a testament to the power of place, reflecting on art, history, and landscape in a quiet, unshowy way.

Grounded in his observations of a house in northern Aberdeenshire, Davidson weaves together painterly descriptions of the natural world with thoughtful reflections on the human experience. This is a book about the beauty of the overlooked and the forgotten, and the ways in which place can shape our understanding of ourselves.

With its unassuming commitment to exploring the complexities of the natural world, Distance and Memory offers a unique perspective on the relationship between art, history, and landscape.
