I’ll tell you, Clark. He just wrapped me up in his muscular arms, pulled me close, and landed the most passionate kiss on my lips. I can’t lie to you—it was great.

Holly Water was designed and built by @outofthevalley_ltd as a self-sufficient retreat in the heart of Devon, UK. The exterior is dominated by its single pitch roof with a generous overhang. It’s on a Douglas fir frame that sites above the ground on cast piers that were dug during the wetter months of winter, so the builders battled the sticky clay to get them set in time. A land rover or tractor was the only way of getting to site early on in the build, so when spring came and the ground dried the build team was relieved. The exterior is clad in local Cedar sourced from a mill near the builders’ workshop, plant based insulations were used throughout and to maintain a breathable building envelope they used a natural clay plaster internally. Clay helps to regulate humidity and temperature. The interior is open plan, an Oak kitchen occupies the back wall with a double bed and bathroom tucked into the gable elevation. The sliding doors open to reveal a cornerless cantilever and an outdoor deck with a bath.

“Stories are for joining the past to the future. Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can’t remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except the story.”

“Self-control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to the point where your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don’t allow others to control the direction of your life. Don’t allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.”

African Canvas Margaret Courtney-Clarke

The Art of Africa is a casualty of colonial exploitation, surviving principally in the museums of other countries. ~ Nadine Gordimer

“My objective in this work is to document an extraordinary art form - vernacular art and architecture in West Africa - that is not transportable and therefore not seen in museums around the world. It is an attempt to capture the unseen Africa, a glimpse into the homes and into the spirit of very proud and dignified peoples. In much the same way as I photographed the art of Ndebele women, I have drawn on my personal affinity for the art itself, for methods, design and form, rather than the socio-anthropological or political realities of a people or continent in dilemma. These images portray a unique tradition of Africa, a celebration of an indigenous rural culture in which the women are the artists and the home her canvas.”
