Slow Looking: The Art of Nature

'This is a jewel of a book: an invitation for us to practise the essential art of looking, of slowing down. An animate celebration of nature and the myriad ways we have interpreted it across history.' - Edmund De Waal

'The only way to see something is to look more slowly. That's what this book is showing us how to do.' - Jeanette Winterson

'Olivia Meehan has gathered together an intoxicating world of images. Her book awakens the ecstatic potential in the encounter and contemplation of both nature and art.' - Sophie Fiennes, Film Maker

'This beautiful collection of artworks and equally moving essays is the ideal guide for anyone wanting to adopt the ethos of slow looking - a practice perfectly suited to viewing and experiencing art in nature. It will be a constant on my bookshelf, and I have no doubt I shall be regularly reaching for it.' - Maria Balshaw, Director of Tate
