EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Peter Anderson, we are transported to a serene natural setting where the beauty of nature and human interaction merge seamlessly. Against a clear blue sky backdrop, a single hand delicately wields secateurs to cut Viscum album, commonly known as Common mistletoe, from a branch of a majestic tree. The image captures the essence of gardening and growth as the vibrant green mistletoe represents life and renewal even in the midst of winter. The differential focus draws our attention to the intricate details of both the mistletoe and lichen that adorn the branch. As we admire this low angle view, it becomes apparent that mistletoe is not just an ordinary plant but rather a parasitic one that thrives on its host tree. Yet, there is no sense of harm or destruction in this scene; instead, it exudes freshness and motion as if celebrating its own variation within nature's grand design. This photograph evokes feelings associated with Christmas traditions as mistletoe holds special significance during this festive season. It serves as a reminder of love and connection between people who stand beneath it for kisses or simply share joyful moments together. Peter Anderson's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the beauty found in nature's creations and humanity's gentle touch upon them. This stunning print invites us to pause amidst our busy lives and revel in the wonders surrounding us – reminding us that even small acts like cutting mistletoe can bring joy into our lives
