Sarah Burwash has been visiting rural communities and remote areas to attend artist residencies, travelling to different cities for art and craft sales, volunteering on farms and working at lodges in the rocky mountains. The Far Woods is a collection of watercolours and other works she produced during these residencies and travels. These drawings celebrate the wilderness, rural lifestyles and resourcefulness. Burwash turns to past generations who, by necessity, had to be self-sufficient and create systems of mutual dependence among community members. Burwash has been researching and immersing herself in environments where she can learn the stories, skills and gain the experience and perspective from earlier generations to create narratives that uproot her own personal mythologies. She seeks to uncover both humble and provocative histories, more specifically those of women who were brazen and persistent in forging for a new social order. She creates characters, environments and narratives that are lyrical yet quiet, like frozen moments from dreams or nightmares. Her work seeks the threads that connect the past and present, weaving imagery that urges people to wander through the drawings, discovering more upon each view and unfolding questions about our relationships to land, nature, spirituality and community.

A young Merchant Navy officer, Adrian Miller is on shore leave and returns to the Warwickshire town and the orphanage in which he grew up, with the intention of tracing his real parents. At first people seem either unhelpful or deliberately obstructive. Then he meets Mary, an attractive young woman who is keen to help. The story unfolds as their detective work triggers flashbacks in time to the real events as they happened and details the devastation inflicted upon the city of Coventry and its inhabitants during the Blitz and the parallel experience of the people of Dresden. Significantly, the arrival of German POW's into the local community brings its own complications.Inevitably, the common thread is War and its effect on the lives of Mary's and Adrian's ancestors; the civilian casualties that history often overlooks. The Far Woods is a richly descriptive, poignant and sometimes tragically funny story of one man's search that digs deep into local history and memories, changing not only his life, but those of many others along the way. The writer uses his own childhood experiences of the war years and successfully portrays the terrible reality faced by thousands of ordinary people in the industrial cities of Europe.
