As the Season Turns

Jackie Morris has the word ‘entrance’ on her studio floor - to remind her that’s her job, she says. For August, Alice visited Jackie at home on the wild Pembrokeshire coast, to be entranced by Jackie’s reflections on her extraordinary career as one of Britain’s most celebrated illustrators, revealing an artistic practice rooted in her deep belief that we are not separate from nature, but part of it.

In this August episode, it’s an unsettled day on the estuary. As the tide retreats the mud gives up its treasures - molluscs, aromatic wild herbs and the calls of wetland birds. In the water, small sharks scull through the shallows, while back on shore we hear tales of transformation, and a gentle song of the harvest.

For July, we’ve arrived by the sea - strolling along the rocky shore to find fossils at our feet, while swifts and swallows whisk along the sand. The rockpools burst with anemones and crabs, and we forage for seaweed along the tidelines. Lisa Knapp sings goodbye to the cuckoo, soon to fly from these shores.
