An inspiring visual adventure. Driven by curiosity, restlessness and a
desire to better understand her own country, artist Alice Stevenson
spent two years exploring and drawing Great Britain. With an eye for the
odd and an antenna for the unexpectedly beautiful, she documented her
slow, attentive forays.
Her journeying was wide: steam trains in
Snowdonia, art galleries on remote Scottish islands, Kent coastlines,
Dorset villages, East Anglian saltmarshes, the erstwhile utopias of
Harlow and Portmeirion and the wild fells of eastern Cumbria. Yet she
found many hidden delights in the dense populations of cities, from Hull
and Plymouth, to Belfast and Edinburgh. The result is a book
celebrating detail, of landscape and architecture, and creativity, an
essential human urge.
A rich, artistic journey through a land deep in natural and man-made puzzles and wonders.
