In the forest nothing stands still. Time layered through thoughts and feelings, leaves kicked and crunched as we walk. The trees talk to each other, sending mycelium messages, carbon gifts, and warnings of drought or illness. From ancient wisdom to popular culture, it’s all here.

If a tree falls in the forest and there’s nobody there to hear it, did it make a sound? Of course it did. And if Jo Stapleton was there to capture the moment, there would be a visual symphony of light, shape and form to follow.

Published by Shutter Hub Editions, this beautiful collection of 100 images by Jo Stapleton is an expressionist photographic account of her interactions with trees, forest and woodland, later remembered and reimagined in the darkroom using alternative processes and techniques.

“We live in times of urbanisation, changing climate and declining biodiversity. Organisations seeking to promote and protect our natural world need our support more than ever. We and photography have a role to play. I hope these images capture your imagination and evoke a desire to spend time in the natural world. With or without a camera.” – Jo Stapleton
