Passing Through is a book concerned with nature, and our transient
connection to it. Consequently, the human figure is seen only
occasionally and rather vague, like something from the imagination
or a memory. Nigel Grierson's visual journey through the seasons,
treads a fine line between reality and fiction, in his search for
abstraction and spirituality: "As adults, in search of
sophistication, and jaded by the rigours of work, it's easy to lose
the natural sense of wonder, and to take for granted the things
that fascinated us so much as children. For Rudolph Steiner, the
most direct route to spirituality for the adult, involves finding
the inner child via the occupation of playing. For me, spirituality
lies in nature, in its myriad of forms and colours, and in the
elements; earth's chaotic beauty. On a personal level this book
represents a journey; a return to childhood, exploring woodlands,
playing in the dirt, finding little treasures and taking something
home as a souvenir; the photograph. I once heard it said that
spirits are in fact traces or energies left behind when beings
repeat the same actions over and over on the same pathways. Perhaps
that is why we can sometimes hear voices in the woods, even after
the people have long gone home."
