The Art of Flowers

Ethereal and everlasting; where meditative process and creative freedom combine.

DRIFT JOURNAL

Issue 45

Artists engage with the landscape through a multitude of lenses, each offering a unique perspective. For some, it is the vastness of the horizon that captures their gaze; for others, it is the intimacy of a single tree or a fleeting shadow. These differing viewpoints shape how we understand the land, not as a static entity, but as a living, breathing composition of light, texture and form. Through their eyes, we are invited to see the world anew, discovering beauty in both the grand and the minute. In the intersection of these varied perspectives lies the quiet power of stillness. As artists interpret the landscape, they capture not just the land itself but the silent dialogue between it and the viewer. In these quiet moments, time seems to fold in on itself, and the landscape becomes a reflection of inner stillness. Sometimes this moment of stillness and quiet is more powerful than movement and noise, a space where beauty is found in the unnoticed. Photographer Lauren Wiig-Aspland speaks in images. Where others rely on words, she finds stories in the fall of light and shadow, the quiet poise of hands. Her work is deeply rooted in the natural environment, where she seeks out scenes that evoke a sense of peace. Max Leuchars’ daily environment is reflected in his work, where exploring new subjects helps him to evolve as a painter, experimenting with new angles and techniques.  Floral artist, grower, educator and author Bex Partridge finds her peace in the meditative process of growing and drying flowers. With Botanical Tales, she creates everlasting floral art with soul. In these moments, we find clarity; an invitation to slow, to breathe, to observe. We invite you to join the reflection and experience a space where time holds no sway.
