Feather, Leaf, Bark & Stone is a book of poems and meditations
with a difference. More than a hundred short texts have been typed
onto small squares of gold leaf, then photographed. These pieces
are arranged in a sequence which culminates in a glorious final
section made up of texts typed directly onto leaves, bark and
feathers. Jackie started to write the pieces shortly after her
father died, and for the first time ever she found herself unable
to paint. The words grew out of her grief and, guided by her deep
intimacy with the natural world, these objects emerged to fill the
space her paintings had left behind. This book is full of the light
and wind that fills the Pembrokeshire coast where it was crafted,
each page anchored to the landscape by the mechanical rhythm of
Jackie's antique typewriters. The result is a collection of
individual artworks to be both looked at and read. It is poetry
re-imagined by a visual artist; words transformed back into their
original function as images. Feather, Leaf, Bark & Stone
announces a new departure for Jackie Morris and confirms her as an
artist and writer at the peak of her power.
