    A Woven Tale - Viola Oderata

    The violet has finished its performance in Devon. It was here in February — small, purple, modest, brief as it always was. In this episode Snoseas follows Viola odorata through the Roman festival of the dead, Ovid’s unfinished almanac, Ophelia’s withered grief, the outrage of the Impressionists and the extraordinary science of a flower that temporarily steals your ability to smell it — before revealing, in ultraviolet, a hidden blazing the human eye is still learning to see. Put the last touches to my undertaking. — Ovid, Fasti, final entry, 30 June. Snoseas — the seasons reflected. Sensing toward stillness. snoseas.co.uk

    The Evolutionary Wizard — Aquilegia (Columbine)

    Snoseas is a creative practice rooted in the Devon landscape, exploring the natural world through Shakespeare’s flowers, natural history and the slow process of making — moving toward a moment of stillness. The first episode follows the aquilegia — six point nine million years old, toxic, beautiful and perpetually adapting — from its evolutionary intelligence to Norse mythology, from Ophelia’s grief to the shifting seasons it has already begun to answer. Aquilegia scape in spring — we are one now Snoseas — the seasons reflected. Sensing toward stillness. snoseas.co.uk
