The Hedgehog’s Woodland

This collection was inspired by my regular walks with the dog in the woods near where I live.

I grew up in a big city, where the closest green space I could reach on foot was a park. So I’m very grateful that I can now walk in the woods whenever I want.

I find so much to look at there: rotting logs beautifully framed by ferns and slowly engulfed by ivy, and more kinds of mushrooms than I could ever name. And when I spot a little animal like a hedgehog or a fox, I hold my breath and move very slowly to take a closer look.

I found joy in capturing these motifs and arranging them in patterns that bring the forest inside and with me wherever I go.
