Many of the works in this exhibition depict the landscape of the Malvern Hills where I live. Perry Pear at Storridge for example is a reminder of the old orchards of Herefordshire, many of which have been grubbed up over the last decades. We have a young orchard a few miles away planted with old local varieties of apples and pears – a scheme devised by Herefordshire County Council to conserve the heritage of this landscape. This orchard appears in Crows in the September Orchard and March Pruning with the Japanese Ladder.
