Margaret Mee and her husband Greville in the studio of their home in Santa
Teresa, a district of Rio de Janeiro. The house was set high the ridge of
a hill overlooking the city on one side and a deep tree lined ravine on
the other. When Margaret bought the house in 1968 the forest was virtually
untouched and filled with birds and many small mammals including monkeys.
These were her friends and they constantly maintained the inspiration she
found in the Amazon forests. By the Year of the Moonflower in 1988 much
of the wilderness outside her door had vanished under the spread of urban
life. |
