The Lost Spells: Listening to a Landscape of Voices

Inspired by the beautiful new book, The Lost Spells, which features artwork and words by the beloved creators of The Lost Words – artist Jackie Morris and writer Robert Macfarlane - The Lost Spells: Listening to a Landscape of Voices is an immersive exhibition that features original artwork, soundscapes and interactive experiences.

Create a song of nature using live recordings of wildlife including owl, fox, and curlew. Explore a digital glossary featuring Jackie’s artwork from The Lost Spells that introduces wildlife native to the UK and Northumberland National Park. And immerse yourself in an ambient soundscape of spoken word pieces, wild nature calls and acoustic music created by musicians from the Spell Songs ensemble - the musical evolution of The Lost Words and The Lost Spells books - to hear what nature is telling us.

A follow-up to the critically acclaimed literary phenomenon, The Lost Words, The Lost Spells invites readers to summon back what is often lost from sight and care by reading aloud spell-poems that conjure the sights and sounds of the natural world.
