This photograph almost didn’t happen. I was walking with my sister near her home in Heyshott, a beautiful village at the foot of the South Downs. As we returned along the track at Manor Farm, the sinking sun caught the canopy above us—a burst of gold and amber light pouring through the leaves.
 
My sister stopped to show me some rare wildflowers at the verge, and I lifted my camera. The warm light, the path curving ahead, the flowers and that wonderfully unhurried feeling are what I wanted to hold onto.
 
I printed the photograph in full colour, then hand-gilded it with gold leaf using my own process. The gold deepens the warmth of that moment, catching the light and shifting as the light in your room changes.
 
Number 1 of a limited edition of 10. Each print is individually hand-gilded, so no two are exactly alike.
