"What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images,..."
(The work @dartmoorcollective.org do with amateur, emerging and professional artists is fabulous, take a look.) (Apologies to Eliot.)

Brief clip of a (very) short film I've done based on the @dartmoorcollective.org Flow brief and which I'll be showing at next week's zine launch.

Bit of an experiment this - mixing up video footage taken on the moor over a 2 year period with a layered synth sequence and ambient drone.

Here's one of the images I have in the @dartmoorcollective.org Flow zine.

It was taken in the depths of last winter at the edge of a very ominous feeling clearing in Fernworthy Forest overlooking one of it's half-forgotten stone rows.

A reminder that pre-orders are now open for our lovely new limited edition Dartmoor zine, 'Flow'.

60 perfectly bound pages of striking and original images and beautifully fragmented words from Kirsteen McNish.

We're really proud of it, and hope you enjoy it.

Cover of the Dartmoor Collective Flow zine - it's an abstract painting inspired by Dartmoor by artist Louise Bougourd- it resembles a bank of dark grey cloud with gold highlights flowing over the moor with a brighter patch of blue sky breaking through.

Thank you and apologies again. If you know someone in the UK we could post to them potentially and they could forward as a personal gift but even then I think they'd need to complete a customs declaration and pay a small fee.

Dartmoor Collective @dartmoorcollective.org · 8d

Hi - I'm sorry but unfortunately not as it involves customs declarations and additional fees paid at the time of postage which make it quite difficult for us to ship to the US.

When I'm not building websites one of my favourite things I do is designing The Dartmoor Collective books and zines. I'm *really* proud of 'Flow'.

We're really thrilled to have another publication out in the wild so a huge thank you to all the artists who contributed and made this possible - we were all bowled away by the quality of the work submitted.

It means the world to us to be able to share this and we really hope you enjoy the results.

Our online shop is also now open for pre-orders of the zine, which is priced at just £9 plus P&P.

(We've deliberately kept the price as low as possible in order to make this as accessible as possible)

We're delighted to announce the publication of our new zine, Flow.
It's by far our best and biggest publication yet, featuring 60 pages of work from 35 Dartmoor visual artists exploring the theme of flow across a diversity of styles and mediums, interweaved with the words of writer, Kirsteen McNish.

Colour photo by Jaiyana Chelikha- a female figure wearing a black headscarf stands alone on an area of open moorland - some sheep are visible behind, grazing through yellowish winter moorgrass and dead bracken. The colours of her clothing match that of the surrounding scene. Grey sky above.

A black and white image by Iain Murray of a still, dark pool in a high Dartmoor river - a bank of gravel is highlighted by the weak sun. The landscape beyond is hazy in mist. Some words by Kirsteen McNish appear on the page to the left of the image:

Daylight, a Skylark spirals
its song from gorse to cloud
- a tiny vortex rising like smoke
At night, under a full moon,
the wind sears into skin,
illuminating the flux
Swallowed, swaled,
a cacophony shaken
from an ancient dream

A close up black and white photo by Simon Blackbourn of a piece of grained and weathered driftwood in a Dartmoor river.

We're very excited about this...

We'll be announcing details for the launch and how to pre-order the zine around 6pm ⏰.

Jon Vernon @onlyindevon.co.uk · 9d

I have an advance copy of the @dartmoorcollective.org Flow zine in my hands and it's fabulous.

As ever, @simonblackbourn.net has done an amazing job on the design and layout.

I reckon it's our best one yet, without a doubt.

We'll be sharing details of how to get hold of it later this evening...
