In this first episode of the new series, Terri Mullholland and I meet visual artist and writer Mark Riley in his London studio to talk about his work. Mark shows Terri and me some of his new three-dimensional pieces, along with recent sketches of Meon Hill on the northern edge of the Cotswolds, and we talk about pilgrimage, haunting and how Mark carries landscapes and stories around with him.
Please note that you might need to turn up the volume as the recording's quite quiet. Listen out too for the sound of passing trains just beyond Mark's studio!
The Poetry Bath's theme tune is composed and performed by Nigel Horn.
In 2023 The Poetry Bath moved to Buzzsprout from Wildhart Radio. You can listen to all 51 earlier episodes via my website.
