A Flower A Day, Miranda Janatka published by Batsford
What has flora and fauna get to do with art? Certainly this is not a textile art book as such, yet its very nature can in fact, embroider our ongoing under-bed of inspirational resources which we use to translate the narrative of our own personal artistic practice. Use this richly illustrated thick hardback to guide you through the months, the seasons, making you aware of the greater world around you. Captured with imagery depicting the florals for every day of the calendar year, you may come across many species which are unknown to your eye. Discover the narrative behind the petals, the history and literary connections which many flowers have threaded through them. What was Claude Monet inspired by? What pushed William Wordsworth to write such artful depictions within his prose?
If you feel stuck in a creative rut, maybe it will take looking upwards from soil level to grant you a new sense of making. This collection is a celebration, from what we may be too tall to see unless we look….value the natural world today and purchase your own copy.
