Anne marks the moment when a deer crossed the path on the way to her parents’ green burial site in southern Scotland. In that moment the racing deer framed in the light at the top of the path represented new life, new hope and a connection with all living things. On a walk to my parents’ green burial site in rural Kirkcudbrightshire, this deer suddenly crossed our path. It was a grief-laden walk, but the deer framed in light at the top of the path seemed to suggest new life, new hope and a connection with all living things. The resulting etching uses the photo taken at the time as a base and is coloured with inks carefully blended and applied by hand during the printing process, making each print unique. I am inspired by natural phenomena, both the majestic and the minute, and the raw, expansive beauty of Scotland with its ever-changing lights, weathers and breathtaking colours never ceases to astound and spark a profound creative response to nature’s creation. I feel these immeasurable spaces, in which heart and soul can expand, are of great value to us all, and hope that the increasing popularity of the NC500, drawing many other visitors to its beauty, will not tame this ancient wilderness.
