Луиза Флетчер

This stunning sequence of 34 abstract works by artist Louise Fletcher takes its inspiration from the poetry of former UK poet laureate Ted Hughes (1930–1998) and the evocative setting of the Yorkshire moors. With quotations from Hughes’s work included alongside the pieces they inspired, moving commentary by Louise detailing their background and inclusive of preliminary sketches and photography, this wonderfully produced hardback documents a journey through both literature, creativity and the landscape. Appealing to a broad audience of artists and potential artists, appreciators of the work of Hughes and all who are interested in contemporary art and the relationship between poetry and the visual, this reflection on the creative process is a personal and profound insight into how great art can continue to move us so profoundly.
