Sugar Beet Moon
Shortlisted in the non-fiction category of the East Anglian Book Awards
Sugar Beet Moon - An artist’s study of the sky
Through pictures and diary entries I find my subject matter encompasses much more than I first imagined. Initially, finding ways to draw in the dark and understanding how we see is as pressing as getting to grips with the complicated motion of the moon. Slowly I understand that the moon isn’t a subject on its own, that it’s part of everything around me - the stream, the toads, owls, teal, mosquitoes, horse chestnut blossom, and even the shooting of foxes. I feel the spinning of the Earth as it travels round the sun while I keep watch on the the moon as it circles Earth.
24 x 17 cm. Paperback, with full width flaps. 136 pages with 56 colour images and 7 black and white scientific diagrams.
With texts by Andrew Lambirth and Dr Dan Self
