Wildwood

This week's Book of the Week, aired at 9.45 am (I listen before I leave for work), is Wildwood by Richard Deakin. On Wednesday he talked about meetings with two artists who work with wood, David Nash and Margaret Mellis. Your can hear this for 7 days on the BBC website.This is one of Mellis's driftwood collages. She also paints "ordinary" pictures. I first came across her work at the Redfern gallery in 1994 - they had a show of her paintings of flowers, done on the insides of envelopes.
