The Apothecary Walk
Familiar plants. Extraordinary pasts.
Dark elderberries. Scarlet rowan. Hawthorn tangled through a hedge. A thistle catching the last light.
The Apothecary Walk explores the stories of remedies, folklore and everyday life held within familiar plants. Each artwork begins with a photograph taken on a walk with Vera, developed through colour, texture and movement into a one-of-one original.
These are plants we pass on ordinary walks, inviting us to look again and wonder what came before.
