John Wolseley: Dry and wet

I like the idea that a given swamp or wetland contains within it the history of the world. As I paint these wetlands a sense of this history loomed in the back of my mind. A history of deep time which has been so beautifully revealed in the Vostok Core. This core of ice, several kilometres deep, is a vertical record of the changing conditions of the earth’s climate laid down over 400,000 years.
