Wild Intelligence
Outdoor Culture worked with international artist Jonathan Middlemiss in early 2010, on a collaborative project with Great Missenden CofE Combined School and One Church Street Gallery.
Jonathan worked with a group of Year 2 children, helping them develop artistic responses to physical and conceptual journeys through their local environment. The resulting art was exhibited at One Church Street together with new and recent work by Jonathan, shaped by experiences of wild landscapes in northern Finland and the UK.
'My work is inspired by the uplifting quality of wild and remote landscapes. Such unique environments offer great hope, as I believe that the quiet power of nature will bring balance to our culture's frenetic search for direction and purpose ... The landscape is my teacher' Jonathan Middlemiss
