Beskrivning

‘To look at Amanda Cobbett's work is to be transported deep into the heart of the forest,' writes Richard, Duke of Buccleuch, in his foreword. 'Tiny mushrooms spring from the stalks of decomposing leaves. Twigs and bark, both wind-fallen and living, are tufted, crusted and cushioned with mosaics of lichens and mosses of astonishing variety..'Although at first glance the pieces look entirely real, they are in fact embroideries, composed of thousands of threads, painstakingly worked and reworked into their final forms.Embroidered Nature catalogues the collection of 26 works of art commissioned by the Duke of Buccleuch in 2022, inspired by fungi and lichen discovered in four strikingly different landscapes linked to the family: at Bowhill, in the Scottish Borders, at Dalkeith Palace, just south of Edinburgh, at Drumlanrig Castle in Scotland’s warmer, wetter southwest, and at Boughton in Northamptonshire.Natasha Goodfellow, who has long followed Amanda’s work, describes her approach and methods, and Andrew Montgomery’s astonishingly precise photographs bring her works to vivid life on the page.The exquisite gem of a book is also richly illustrated with dozens of Amanda’s own photographs and watercolours. Andrew Montgomery’s plates are accompanied by Natasha Goodfellow’s commentary and Amanda’s field notes.
