I have missed this space so much. In the last year I have embarked on a Fine Art degree and because of that, the greener dream blog has been largely idle. As the first year of my course is drawing to a close I thought it would be nice to post a few pictures here from a project I am working on at the moment for Digital Lens Based Media.
I wanted to merge my love for the elemental forces of nature with photography and I hope the results are enjoyable.
Air. A fierce storm or a gentle breeze. The never ending movement of change. Seeds carried on the wind.
Fire. The warmth from the sun and the rising energy. The land springing to life after winters cold. Rays comforting our tired and bleak faces, gently awakening all that has been asleep.
Water. A fast flowing stream or a light rain. Early morning mist and the moist trickles that awaken seeds.
Earth. Our roots. The ground that carries and sustains us. A myriad of life coexisting and evolving.
I find it fascinating to think about how the elements all complement and each other and bring forth life. It was so much fun trying to capture this using photography. Thanks to Paul for taking all the images.

Welcome back, Maria, I’ve missed your posts! Great that your course is going well, the photos are absolutely stunning. I love all those colours, textures and natural materials – you have me itching to dig out the dye pot again! Thank you for sharing. 🥰

Hi Lis. Thank you! I can’t wait to read about how you are doing in your new place… I have classes up until the tenth of May or shortly after that, and then I am planning to spend more time writing, reading and working on the land. It is a glorious sunny day here so I will bring today’s projects outside for a few precious rays of sun. 😁

It’s so lovely to carry work outside when you can. I’m sure the rest of your academic year will fly by and you will soon be back in the garden. Glorious sunshine here, too, but the wind is bitter. I’m planting annual flower seeds and just hoping they will germinate, I’m going for a cheap and cheerful rainbow this year while we get ourselves sorted. Enjoy that sunshine! 🌞

Wonderful evocations of elemental spirits! I don’t know Celtic mythology, but these would be excellent illustrations for Greek stories of Artemis and dryads, etc. Really outstanding job with the face-painting and the photos too.
