Woodlands are dynamic places bursting with life, sounds, smells, colours and textures.
We have a primeval affinity with woodlands, so it is not surprising how easily we can feel comfortable in these environments. Woodlands are truly nourishing places to spend time in.
This video portrays a short journey through the woodland collecting natural material for making a small sculpture which also incorporates a solitary bee habitat.
Foraging for materials allows us to get close and personal with nature which is intrinsic to the enjoyment of creative activity in woodland spaces.
