A land

An on-going project to create a series of visual works  based on the writing of Jacquetta Hawkes. First published in 1951, A Land became a pioneering work of modern nature writing, and is a very personal, elegiac account of Britain through geology, archaeology, palaeontology and social history.

The Evolution of Flowers

Hawkes paints a picture of the creation of Britain from the very first forming of the earth's crust, through periods marked by lifeless worlds of rock, water and air, to the first emergence of plants and life that senses its surroundings.
