We're delighted to announce the publication of our new zine, Flow. 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.

Cover of the Dartmoor Collective Flow zine - it's an abstract painting inspired by Dartmoor by artist Louise Bougourd- it resembles a bank of dark grey cloud with gold highlights flowing over the moor with a brighter patch of blue sky breaking through. Colour photo by Jaiyana Chelikha- a female figure wearing a black headscarf stands alone on an area of open moorland - some sheep are visible behind, grazing through yellowish winter moorgrass and dead bracken. The colours of her clothing match that of the surrounding scene. Grey sky above.A black and white image by Iain Murray of a still, dark pool in a high Dartmoor river - a bank of gravel is highlighted by the weak sun. The landscape beyond is hazy in mist. Some words by Kirsteen McNish appear on the page to the left of the image: Daylight, a Skylark spirals its song from gorse to cloud - a tiny vortex rising like smoke At night, under a full moon, the wind sears into skin, illuminating the flux Swallowed, swaled, a cacophony shaken from an ancient dreamA close up black and white photo by Simon Blackbourn of a piece of grained and weathered driftwood in a Dartmoor river.
