Plants and Places presents over 70 of Lewin's beautifully crafted linocuts and wood engravings.The works are grouped according to habitat - such as coast, woodland and hedgerow, and garden - together with drawings, paintings and collages from Lewin's sketchbooks of grasses, seed pods, seaweed, shells and other objects that she has collected on her walks. In an engaging introduction, Leslie Geddes-Brown meets Lewin in her studio, discusses her artistic inspiration and her fascination with plants, and describes how she creates her prints.
