Jackson approached 32 people he knew, asking them to write a page about their favourite place in Britain which would subsequently go in the book along with the art Jackson made upon visiting each place. It's an eclectic mix of people, from fellow artists to writers to scientists by way of Greenpeace activists and others. I recognised some of the names e.g. Helen Dunmore, Carol Hughes and Michael Eavis.
Most of the favourite places were countryside or wilderness but some were urban. The paintings I liked most were the most straightforwardly representational, as opposed to the collage-style ones. Some of the sculptures were also good, again the most straightforward designs. The painting style is unique, superficially seeming impressionistic but not using the genuine techniques of Impressionism at all.
