"Frond Clusters"

This temporary snow intervention was created at an old railway location at Yeathouse in West Cumbria in January 2021.The curved branch was an intriguing canvas in which to create a decorative artwork using semi frozen bracken fronds .The leaves were gently pressed into the soft snow and I had to use ungloved fingers to achieve the sensitive manipulation.Wisps of occasional breezes threatened to dislodge snow from branches above and the intense cold made the creative experience a challenging activity.My spirits were kept up by encouragement from passing walkers and the welcome appearance of the sun halfway through.
