    Full Description

    Inspired by watching his grandchildren splashing in the rain, artist John Newling turns his attention to a puddle beside his garden gate. Through photographs and reflections, he explores the histories, mysteries and interconnected systems contained within this seemingly ordinary body of water. The puddle becomes a lens through which to consider humanity, ecology, time, memory and our place within the natural world. Combining visual documentation with insightful, humorous and philosophical observations, Newling reveals how even the most commonplace phenomena can open pathways to wonder and understanding. Richly illustrated throughout, The Book of Puddle invites readers to look more closely at their surroundings and discover the profound significance hidden within everyday experiences. The work offers both a celebration of nature’s beauty and a meditation on the fragility and interconnectedness of life on Earth.
