A new selection from Philip Hughes' unpublished notebooks going
back over twenty-five years. In an astonishing collection of
twenty-seven notebooks created over a quarter of a century, Philip
Hughes has sought to capture the spirit of a place: its geological
structure, its relationship with the surrounding landscape, and its
occasional signs of human intervention. These painterly but
topographically precise notebooks record moments when the artist
has been moved to draw what he can see, whether from the shelter of
a standing stone in Orkney, Scotland, from the air over the Simpson
desert in Australia, or from a postal boat sailing through the
Norwegian fjords. Pieced together by Hughes himself from over a
thousand drawings, this is a logbook of momentary observations.
Some are swift sketches of fields or horizons, others are slower
studies of lichen and flowers in Antarctica, or lines of quartz in
granite in Cornwall. The depth of feeling and knowledge Hughes has
for different terrains and climates underpins the beauty of this
essential and inspiring selection of notebooks.
