Whilst on a young people’s placement at Wysing, artist Pheo Cox created ‘Conversation with Earth: A Daydreamer’s Map’. Pheo’s commission takes us on a journey through Wysing’s site, exploring the biodiverse landscape and the curiosities it’s home to.  

The detailed, risograph printed map follows a personal journey reflecting on what nature can provide. It responds to sensory, factual and mythological ways of learning about plants, reminding us of the importance of our connection with nature. 

Through this map, Pheo calls upon us to get to know the earth a little better, to reconsider our relationship with it and to ponder what could happen if we made space to realise, notice, and listen. 

Each map includes a set of 4 postcards and a packet of wildflower seeds, inviting us to share in the joy of nature. 

By purchasing Cox’s edition, you’ll be supporting our Creative Youth Council. The Creative Youth Council is a calm and friendly safe space where young people aged 14-18 from all over Cambridgeshire can unleash their creativity and share it with people their own age.
