A selection of drawings by Jules Bradbury, centring plants we frequently overlook or malign.
It began with a summer artist residency in an upland hay meadow and became a way of seeing.
By looking from a different perspective, she suggests we re-view what we value and why.
In our time, quiet attentiveness becomes a radical act of resistance.
"At the scale of a moss, walking through the woods as a six-foot human is a lot like flying over the continent at 32,000 feet. So far above the ground, and on our way to somewhere else, we run the risk of missing an entire realm which lies at our feet. Every day we pass over them without seeing. Mosses and other small beings issue an invitation to dwell for a time at the limits of ordinary perception. All it requires of us is attentiveness. Look in a certain way and a whole new world can be revealed."
