Angela Harding: Wild Light

The acclaimed printmaker and author of A Year Unfolding gathers together a selection of over 70 original illustrations influenced by the properties of light on landscape and creatures.

“I, like many other people, find great inspiration in the way mornings, evenings or bright midday light changes the way we see the things around us. The bouncing light of a cloud-filled storm sky can change a seascape through a palette of blues, greys, and turquoises. The cool summer moonlight that crosses my back garden sends long shadows that change the mood of the garden from homely to unfamiliar. And whether it’s the low light of an English February afternoon or the sharp, bright mid-morning light of the Cornish seaside, the light and dark we experience affects our moods.”

“I hope you enjoy this journey through 24 hours of my collected memories of the nature that surrounds me.”
