Concertina Sketchbook 2

By Emma J Williams 2020
My concertina sketchbooks were made to record the many walks taken in my local area along parts of the Ridgeway National Trail and the Icknield Way near where I live in Buckinghamshire during 2020. Discovering and re-discovering the local tracks and trails, witnessing and recording the landscape changing through the seasons was not only a creative exercise but a welcome distraction during lockdown. Sketchbook No.2 records walks during May to September 2020 with the beech leaf becoming a repetitive motif throughout.
