She may be one of my best friends but that aside Lucy Kitchen is also a beautiful voice, a fine finger plucking guitarist, and flutist. Pre album launch I just wanted to give you all a ‘sneak a peek’ of the below images taken at the weekend, we also made a gorgeous little promo film, so watch this space!

 

Lucy’s new album will be out shortly, also featured on Heathwards‘ new single and video ‘Orange’ (released on June 4th) and is gigging around the South Coast this summer. So watch out for her gentle, heart touching, folk inspired tunes whilst you are relaxing in the green fields this summer, she’ll lie you down and send a shiver up your spine…

Street children in Cambodia are some of the most vulnerable young people alive. Today, April 12th, is a day when the organisation International Day for Street Children give children like this a voice. They deserve more attention, more food, more comfort and more love.
Give them a hand.

My first book cover!

Whilst in Cambodia I was commissioned back in the UK for my first book cover. Emma Restall Orr’s seventh book ‘The Wakeful World’ discusses the theme of animism ‘as a radically different, yet mature and coherent philosophy’ for the current times.

‘Providing deep green ethics with a wholly rational metaphysical foundation, The Wakeful World is a compelling view of the nature of existence and the experience of reality, giving solid ground for the now necessary journey to an integrated and sustainable world.’

The image used was a photograph I made a few years ago called ‘We two’. Inspired by Georgia O’Keefe’s sensual studies of flowers I had made the image of the two tulips bending together, a curving tension between them, in the late sunlight at my back door. It’s really lovely to see it used for a book on a subject that I too can feel passionate about, it means a lot to me.

Bring me the sunflower ~ Mothers’ Day

When I was a girl on Mothers’ Day we would pile into our rusty old white triumph car with the black, cat scratched, soft top and drive to the forest to see my grandmother. Three generations gathering to say I love you and eat buttery crumpets giving gifts of books and cat statues and filling grannies room with bunches of daffodils from the Isle of Scilly. My grandmother and my mother are now passed and my daughter is on the other side of the world so the below image today is for them but especially my mum, who was a bright whirling sunflower until her last goodbye.

Bring me the sunflower

Bring me then the plant that points
to those bright Lucidites swirling up from the earth.

And life itself exhaling that central breath!

Bring me the sunflower
crazed with the love
of light.
