With Stephen Ellcock
Introduction by Ryan Smith
Presented by the Samhain Society and The Margate Bookshop
Renowned image alchemist Stephen Ellcock returns with his latest book, ARK: A Visual Treasury of Earth’s Living Wonders.
In this talk, Stephen presents his curation of the myriad forms of life depicted by humanity throughout history. He’ll take us through some of his vast treasury of diverse images from all five kingdoms of nature—from microscopic wonders and interconnected fungi to healing plants and the multitude of miraculous animal species that share our world. And guide us through some of the intricate, life-sustaining relationships that populate nature’s elemental realms of earth, water, and air, and the threats of climate change and human action.
Stephen’s Illuminating words and extraordinary images deliver an optimistic vision of abundance, beauty, and utility—a living world that we have the power to protect.
Prepare to be awed.
With time for an audience Q&A and an opportunity to buy signed copies of Stephen’s latest book, Ark, and a selection of his prolific publications.
