Artist's book celebrating a walk to see and sketch the "Venus" sculpture by Steve Dilworth in the grounds at Marchmont House in the Scottish Borders, where I spent a month on residency in April 2021.  The Collagraph on the cover plays with the very dark stone of the sculpture, reversing it into an airy, white shape.  The photos explore Venus’s relationship with the surrounding trees. The focus is varied to play with and transform the texture and light of the surface, echoing the sculpture's reference to the planet. The patterns in the reflections of the many wonderful trees at Marchmont seem to change constantly. The photos can be moved around the pages of the book to play with their colour and light.

£60 (As exhibited.)
