It's by far our best and biggest publication yet, featuring 60 pages of work from 35 Dartmoor visual artists exploring the theme of flow across a diversity of styles and mediums, interweaved with the words of writer, Kirsteen McNish.

Love this piece by Kirsteen, who provided the beautiful words for our @dartmoorcollective.org Flow zine.
'Our feet and shins are baptised in the peaty water as we walk through a leat, then pass a clootie tree and proceed to a roundhouse to consider what we have lost and what we might save.'

From a Dartmoor tor, Kirsteen McNish throws wishes out to the wind www.caughtbytheriver.net/2025/11/lich...

Wonderful to hear that this beautiful photo by Jaiyana Chelikha, which is featured in our current Flow zine, has been shortlisted for the British Journal of Photography's Portrait of Britain.

Many congratulations Jaiyana!

Dartmoor-raised artist Dominie Hooper's debut album, "In This Body Lives" is released today.

It's a beautiful record - as darkly layered and complex as the moor itself.

Do check it out.

An “adit” is a horizontal shaft used in mine works to drain the mine of water. The water drizzles down the sides of the adit where, very slowly, it reacts with the minerals in the granite. Beautiful forms and patterns emerge on these walls in some places.

We love seeing the Flow zine out in the wild.

More copies will be making their way out to letterboxes over the next few days...

Still some copies available if you'd like one of your own.

Just FYI, we are stealing "it's so fine, it even has a spine" for future marketing purposes, Stephen...

So glad you're enjoying it!
Ooh, look! It's @dartmoorcollective.org 's 'Flow' zine. It's so very fine it even has a spine. I just escaped relegation with 'Linear' so was hoping to be mid-table this time. Over the Moor with this result.

The idea behind the brief for Flow was to create a theme that was open to wide interpretation but which would inspire artists to look beneath the surface of Dartmoor and explore how it is shaped as a landscape - by people, time, weather and water...

With a fair wind, the first preorder Flow zines should land on doormats from today - We hope you enjoy them.

Thanks so much for everyone's support - all money raised from zine sales will directly fund future projects promoting the visual arts on Dartmoor.

Just a week until the launch of our beautiful Flow zine...

An eclectic range of strikingly original work from across our diverse community of Dartmoor artists, printmakers and photographers accompanied by the words of Kirsteen McNish.

We're very proud of it.

Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,

A heap of broken images,..."
(The work @dartmoorcollective.org do with amateur, emerging and professional artists is fabulous, take a look.) (Apologies to Eliot.)
Brief clip of a (very) short film I've done based on the @dartmoorcollective.org Flow brief and which I'll be showing at next week's zine launch.

Bit of an experiment this - mixing up video footage taken on the moor over a 2 year period with a layered synth sequence and ambient drone.
