Still trying to wrap my head around this incredible print that I was gifted recently. Today seems like a good day to share it, as today, “Rid of Me” is 33 years old.
Released 26th April 1993.
This is an artist’s proof print, straight from Maria Mochnacz‘s personal collection.

Flash/swish, shot in the total dark. Seriously iconic ever since.

What a wild thing to receive. My dear friend Mish saw it in a raffle, thought of me, proclaimed it, bought a ticket… &😮 only went and bloody won it!
He’s been holding onto it since last summer to give it to me now, for my 35th completed earth rotation.
Thank you Mish. Thank you Maria and thank you Polly. South West legends, iconic forever xoxoxo
Had to wait for the celestial conditions to be juuust right -nicely auspicious-♈️ before entering the Museum of Witchcraft & Magic.

West Dorset water meadow update instalment, somewhere betwixt Samhain and Yuletide. 🧌🌒
Huge delight today! The decaying foliage has once again open the vistas of landscape. The leaves have washed downward downwater and the view is clear. I can see further than ever in recent months. I can see trees with their feet in the morass. Throughout the swamp, deer tracks are obvious and tempting to tread.
Stepping forward into the swamp I feel a sinking sense of silt. Silt mud underfoot still dynamic and unstable. Still in the throes of movement allowed by space when the foliage was still elevated. Now the plants have fallen, I’m sure the ground will become denser soon, but I must wait for drier days before reaching into the deep landscape. “Stick to the path for a while until then” I collectedly tell my eager inner conquering explorer.
Cow parsley umbles look flaxen gold and totally abuzz in low autumnal light. They’re providing height for the flying beasties of the place. No need for them to land on the sodden ground next to the freshly fallen Himalayan balsam.
Luckily one of my choice places to cotch in the swamp isn’t majorly drenched, I can linger for a good long while catching up with moss, lichen and ivy.
Ivy leaf’s map lines of cream white veins look strong and valuable and beautiful, especially against the backdrop of seasons intent in decomposing the plants all around me.
