From source to sea, artist Kurt Jackson’s fascination with the rivers of the British Isles and beyond has endured throughout his life. This book explores, for the first time, Jackson’s visual and written responses to the rivers that he has followed, from the continent of Africa to his home county of Cornwall.

The diversity of the waterways that Jackson has come to know through his travels is echoed in his images, which capture habitats rich in flora and fauna. We can also discern the changing face of our rivers – choked by pollution and straining to survive the abuses inflicted since industrialisation restricted the natural flow of the network of blue lines that trickle, meander and run through our lands. Celebrating those networks common to us all, this important publication reminds us of the splendours of our rivers – powerful and fragile in equal measure.
