This publication is the result of a writer’s residency at Grizedale in 1999. Examining how we perceive nature and landscape, ‘Nature Centre’ looks in particular at the environments of Grizedale and the Lake District. The publication aims to identify the gaps between people’s ideals about nature versus the reality of that nature.

This book is the culmination of a project that began as a collaboration between Rob Kesseler and Grizedale and was published to coincide with an exhibition for The Wordsworth Trust. Bringing together the worlds of science and art the artist set out to examine and celebrate Lakeland flora as observed through a Scanning Electron Microscope and the writings of John Ruskin and Dorothy and William Wordsworth.

Coates’ work is embedded in a dialogue with ornithology, zoology, anthropology and philosophy - the studies of animal and human, but instead of rational or scientific analysis he explores his subject by doing and imitating, by immersing himself in other modes of being and literally inhabiting their skin.

This publication tells of how, between 1939 and 1948 Grizedale Hall served as a place of confinement for a constantly changing population of hundreds upon hundreds of demoralised, depressed and defeated German officers.

For fifteen years now Hans Waanders has made art about the kingfisher, alcedo atthis. At the heart of his work there always lies the possibility of encountering the magical ijsvogel. Placing a stick in the bank of a river, a perch from which the bird can fish, the artist invites us to imagine this encounter.

A short story by Jordan Baseman: ‘On the evening of August 8, 1974 Richard Nixon resigned as President of the United States. His resignation speech was broadcast on television and radio across America.
The speech was also broadcast over the tannoy at the Allentown State Fair in Allentown, Pennsylvania. That’s where I was. With my friend Bruno.’

This popular book by the art writer Duncan McLaren is part fact and part fiction. The story deals with the author’s visit to Grizedale and his findings on the famous Victorian reformer John Ruskin. The book is written in Duncan’s unique humorous and stream-of-consciousness style.

From Nicola Chamberlain, artist:
I have read the text twice now and mightily enjoyed it... am quite interested to find out more about Ruskin... probably won't though (knowing me). There's nothing more aggravating than sexual repression, especially in the name of piety. The older I get the more frustrated I become by virtuous people. :-)

Graham’s new sculptural work was launched at Grizedale Live 2002 and is entitled ‘The Forest and the Forester (After Maeterlinck)’. The work comprises of a planting of 12 Scots pine within special enclosures, it can be found close to Lawson Park at Map Ref. E11. The sculpture has an accompanying play of the same title, which is set at the site of the sculpture. The site overlooks Coniston Water where Donald Campbell died in 1967 on board the Bluebird. The script is based on the Forest Scene from Maurice Maeterlinck’s play The Blue Bird.

Jo’s project Camp was part of an education residency with children from the Honeypot Youth Group in Ulverston. The children made pinhole cameras and, on a two-day camp in the forest, set up woodland scenes for their own toys and photographed them. This book was made by Jo Coupe to document the project and the work produced.

The whole project has just been awarded the Chrisi Bailey Award by the Arts Council, comprising of a £1,000 award, a digital microscope and press publicity.

This publication consists of seven illustrated route cards which outline micro-walks in the forest, each only a few yards long. The mosses and lichens that can be found in these walks are named on these cards.

The fineness of Nature’s work is so great, that, into a single block, a foot or two in diameter, she can compress as many changes of form and structure, on a small scale, as she needs for her mountains on a large one; and taking moss for forests, and grains of crystal for crags, the surface of a stone is more interesting than the surface of an ordinary hill.John Ruskin

This publication comes complete with its own Seven Short Walks magnifying glass.

£ 7.00

This publication charts various art projects from the last four years where flowers and plants have insinuated themselves into Graham’s work.

Throughout his work, Fagen has continued to use houseplants - a type of plant that was supposed to suggest sophistication through its exotic nature but quickly became ubiquitous and devoid of cultural distinction - as a metaphor for the ordinary.

This book also contains documentation from Graham’s The Forest and the Forester (After Maeterlinck) tree-planting project at Grizedale.
