Nothing could have prepared me for the winter that I was to experience in my first year there. From November until April snow lay thick on the ground, and the sun's appearance to the day was fleeting. Then something happened in May that was entirely magical. Summer arrived in Stockholm, and almost instantaneously the city and the people within were transformed into their summer selves. A lush explosion of energy and colour burst forth in nature, and in particular I noticed how the waterways of the Stockholm archipelago came alive. This design celebrates the wonderfully unique Swedish summer and documents my observations from the vantage point of a kayak from the many expeditions I made on the water in the summer of 2014." — Hannah WaldronPrinting processHand printed in Japan using traditional techniques.More by this designer
