`Understorey: A Year Among Weeds` is out in paperback today!
In this beautiful book, artist and writer @annachapmanparker records in prose and stunning original line drawings a year spent looking closely at wild plants.
Meditating too on how they appear in other artistsβ work, from a bramble framing a sixth-century Byzantine manuscript to a kudzu vine installation in modern Berlin, she explores the art of paying attention even to the smallest things.

A jam-packed day yesterday with @paulmmcooper to celebrate the announcement that Fall of Civilizations is a top 10 paperback non-fiction bestseller in the UK! π
We kicked things off with a signing at @westendlanebooks, followed by a lovely talk at Ealing U3A (with special guest Mabel), then swung by @waterstonesealing and wrapped up with an inspiring evening at @hatchardspiccadilly alongside the brilliant medieval historian Hetta Howes.
Mabel was exhausted from her day, the last slide says it all!

Based on the hit podcast with over 200 million streams, #FallofCivilizations brilliantly explores how a range of ancient societies rose to power and sophistication, and how they tipped over into collapse. From the Colosseum of Rome to the crumbling suburbs of Detroit, the vine-wreathed temples of the Maya to the shell-pocked buildings of Bakhmut and Gaza.
Available in all good bookshops.
