Flight

<p>For over two decades artist Paul Bloomer walked the wilds of Shetland with a fly rod in hand and sketchbook at his side uncovering sacred places watching birds and letting the landscape transform his art - and his way of being.</p><p></p><p>From the smoke-stained ruins of England's Black Country to the luminous skies of the North Flight traces a powerful artistic and spiritual journey. Through woodcuts paintings charcoals and etchings Bloomer's work captures the tension between destruction and beauty mourning and celebration shadow and light.</p><p></p><p>This richly illustrated book invites us to see the world differently - through the eyes of birds the language of land and the soul of an artist listening closely to both.</p>
