In Follow the River, Douglas finds different reaches of the river and brings these to the concertina form as unfolding arm’s breadths, each one with a distinct theme of light, color and mood. Each open spread can be viewed individually, or in runs of 4, 6, 8 or more pages. The first spread contains a text poem, which, integral to the reach of the river draws the eye into the book and a close reading of its pages. Leaves, grasses, ferns, flowers and trees form part of following the river, at its edge. In light and shadow they frame and are interwoven with the water’s movement: its flow, light and shade, and reflective color, taking in its nuanced surroundings, as one contemplative whole. - Weproductions

Note: The protective card sleeve enclosing the 8 concertinas has a small dent in the top right corner.
