Grass 1, Anne Fox, Original abstract, 33 x 24", Fine Art

Works made whilst Artist in Residence with Slow the flow, a Natural Flood Management action group. The Grass series responds to my studies of the local upland wet and acid grassland – a vital resource for sinking carbon, and reducing water runoff at times of potential flood. Rough, tussocky grasslands are extremely effective at storing water. Research has shown that 11 times more water leaves intensively managed grasslands than rough grasslands during storms, increasing the risk of flooding downstream. Bare soils will allow even more runoff. I have been spending time among this grass during our dry spring, appreciating the gentle winter colours of the old leaves, and the forms of tussocks laid bare by winter.
