Wild Light: A printmaker’s day and night
£20.70£23.80 (-13%)
With over 70 original illustrations, printmaker Angela Harding invites you to look at how the light changes the world around us, and how that changes us in its turn.
“I, like many other people, find great inspiration in the way mornings, evenings or bright midday light changes the way we see the things around us. The bouncing light of a cloud-filled storm sky can change a seascape through a palette of blues, greys, and turquoises. The cool summer moonlight that crosses my back garden sends long shadows that change the mood of the garden from homely to unfamiliar. And whether it’s the low light of an English February afternoon or the sharp, bright mid-morning light of the Cornish seaside, the light and dark we experience affects our moods.
“But life is busy, and I am guilty as anyone of being too preoccupied by daily life to just stop and look. This book is a collection of illustrations from those moments when I have stopped and looked; when a particular encounter with nature has been highlighted by the time of day or the time of night, becoming a strong image long remembered and one that I wish to illustrate.
“I hope you enjoy this journey through 24 hours of my collected memories of the nature that surrounds me.”

I have long admired the illustrations of Angela Harding without knowing her name – savouring the front cover of The Salt Path or treating myself to a pack of notebooks decked with her artwork. This book was another treat to myself when I finally learnt who she is. Full of fabulous illustrations, photographs, poems, techniques and the story behind each act of inspiration, it is absolutely the best gift for yourself, a nature lover, artist or anyone who has an eye for talent. Simply stunning.
