The idea for Springlines came from a walk on the South Downs in the drought of Spring 2012. The poet Clare Best & the artist Mary Anne Aytoun-Ellis went in search of pools of water that are concealed, overlooked or hidden. They found places & whole landscapes rich in history, wildlife, culture & myth. This book presents the work they made about some of those watery places, from dew ponds to ancient wells, clay-pits to furnace ponds, chalk springs to the man-made pools of Glyndebourne. Mary Anne`s paintings sit with Clare`s poetry, alongside short pieces by other writers, & water subjects drawn & painted by Cotman, Cristall, Edridge, Turner & others, to create a book that approaches some of the hidden corners of English landscape & celebrates the vitality of water. With contributions from Alison Brackenbury, Laura Coleman, Alexandra Harris, Alexandra Loske, Richard Mabey, Robert Macfarlane, Steve Marshall, Clare Whistler, Tim Wilcox. ...
