I’ve been a competitive fell runner for several decades and I find many parallels between running in the hills and making art. In both, I yearn for a state of ‘flow’ where I lose a sense of time and place and my subconscious takes me to an exquisite form of mindfulness that tiptoes between a surreal dream and granite reality. This is an ongoing exploration of the many wilderness experiences I’ve been privileged to have over the years. Everyone should try fell running, but that’s clearly unrealistic so if you want a safer option, visit my shop for some colourful fell running prints.
