Taking plant and animal forms as her primary source, British artist Sarah Graham (born 1973) focuses on one flower, insect or skeletal structure, examining it from every perspective. In 2025, she drastically shifted studios—moving from her London workspace to a makeshift site in the Kenyan wilderness. Using limited materials, she created a powerful series of drawings and paintings revealing both the wonder and strangeness of the natural world. This beautifully illustrated publication chronicles Graham's voyage of discovery as she painted and drew alongside roaming wild animals and local Samburu tribesmen. An accompanying essay by writer Fiammetta Rocco, who grew up on the shores of Lake Naivasha (where Graham worked), offers a personal account of the local surroundings and the artist's presence within it, while handwritten notes throughout provide Graham's own reflections on an experience that transformed her practice.
