Olwen.

Olwen is a hedgelayer, a winter trade. She bends small trees almost to the ground without killing them, so the hedge grows back thicker and holds for another forty years. It's a rare craft. A craft of hands and patience.

I mention it because it explains the angle of this piece. In her story, the hedges she laid fifteen years ago are now at their best; she stops by to see them, the way you'd visit someone. Her answer to a world in a hurry is to make things so well it would be a shame to take them down. That's the bar.

Hence a framed picture and not just a sheet of paper. A portrait like this asks for a frame. A framed hare poster arrives solved: frame on, ready for the nail, no steps in between. And it stays. It hangs today and it hangs years from now, without you having to come back to it.

Olwen likes things made to last — her hedges from fifteen years back are now at their best — and this version of the portrait comes with the frame already on, ready for the wall. If you'd rather have it loose, there's the unframed print; and to know her better, there's her story.
