Wild Angelica with Moorland Grasses, textile collage, Amanda Richardson Artist

The sculptural forms of wild angelica stand out among the heather and grasses of the Cornish moors in high summer. Their flowerheads can echo the shapes of scudding clouds while golden grasses sway all around. I have handdyed satin for the sky while the plant forms stand forward in a collage of silk, satin and velvet. All shimmer in the light.
