Talk Radio Europe Interview on Life Stories 2017

A segment from the original 41 minute Leafscape soundtrack. Leafscape is a vision of a botanical dystopia. The natural world in a state of decay through interaction with the encroaching urban environment. This soundtrack has been composed using sounds collected in both England & Spain between July 2014-2016. Each individual sound extract has been captured at a specific reference point; the precise geographical location of a particular leaf. Through a process of both precise and random digital manipulation, place, time and space are intertwined. Arranged by Derek Thompson (Hoodlum Priest). Field recordings by Ursula Romero (Inky Leaves). © Full soundtrack available here: https://www.inkyleavespublishing.com/shop/audio/leafscape-audio/

Leafscape Segment

This fortnight I am in conversation with watercolour artist Denise Ramsay. Denise is well known for painting large, exquisite flowers with precision and finesse.

Inky Leaves is a new channel promoting the world of botany and botanical art. Run by artist J R Shepherd, here you can listen to botanical artists, collectors and curators as well as scientists, ecologists and philosophers. Jess will also be documenting her journey into blue as she begins her travels for her Blue Flower Project.

This week I am in conversation with British botanist, botanical art collector and author Dr. Shirley Sherwood on her life's passion for plants in pictures. Having dedicated 27 years of her life to travelling extensively and amassing an astonishing collection of contemporary botanical paintings from artists around the world, Dr. Shirley Sherwood is rightly described as the driving force behind the revival of interest we are seeing today in botanical art.

Podcasting: World Botanical Art Day Special with Sarah Morrish

Today I am joined by botanical illustrator Lucy Smith to talk about her work at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and what we can expect for Botanical Art Worldwide Day. The bird recordings are the notorious parakeets which live in Kew Gardens and were recorded by me in 2016.

We had numerous technical problems so apologies for the quality of the recording towards the end. After quite a bit of editing, I think we made it through!
