'Mark Hearld's World Book' Art Book

A new compact hardback edition of Mark Hearld's Work Book, the first collection of his beguiling art. Hearld finds his inspiration in the flora and fauna of the British countryside: a blue-eyed jay perched on an oak branch; two hares enjoying the spoils of an allotment; a mute swan standing at the frozen water's edge; and a sleek red fox prowling the fields, portrayed in paint, print, collage, textiles and ceramics. The works are grouped into nature-related themes introduced by Hearld, who tells the stories behind some of his creations and discusses his influences.
