A collaboration with artist Anne McKenzie, a painter informed by Shodo practices. I documented Anne in the Valley of the Temples, Agrigento, Sicily, where she painted the Secolare - the ancient olive trees - for an installation of ten banners which were exhibited during London Craft Week 2023.

Anne amongst the secolare
(...The paper. The brush. The pigment. Her hand poised, hovering, suspended in the moment...
...patiently she sits, in silent reverence...
...until she receives what will become the next brushstroke. Pigment, brush, meet paper....
