While I was in Brazil I discovered the Afro-Brazilian tradition of Banho de Folhas, or "leaf bathing", where plants are used in rituals of cleansing and renewal. Rather than illust rating the practice directly, I was interested in the idea of the forest itself becoming a place of restoration, where colour, light and nature surround you completely. Swimming became a daily ritual during my time in Brazil, but I realised I experienced the same sense of immersion walking through the rainforest. Forest Bather series is about that feeling of being held within nature rather than simply observing it. Edition of 60 hand signed original prints. Optional framing available in the UK only Show more
