The collective

I was recommended Bob Mortimer’s autobiography recently, unfortunately however life is a little busy right now and I don’t have much time to sit down and read, so instead I downloaded it as an audio-book, (narrated by Bob himself - I feel this adds something to an autobiography, hearing the stories in authors own voice) and have spent the last week or so listening to it. There is an early chapter on his young adulthood and his adventures with his friends which really resonated with me. I grew up in the same town a few decades later, but when it comes to imagination and friendships it was almost like a retelling of my own youth.

 

I like to think of woodland as a way for me to reengage with my imagination which I feel gets a little lost as we get older. I like exploring interactions between shapes of trees and branches and the way they can create a real sense of story and that’s what I felt when I imaged this scene.
