The Growth, imagined
An opening between three planes
A hillside in a leaf
A home, a favourite coat, a painting someone paid far too much for. Verdant grows through the lives of its inhabitants, and through the questions that make it worth building.

Haren opens the road. A proposed painting for the Dorran family home.
The decisions behind the drawings.
The discoveries, wrong turns and small decisions behind Verdant Wilds. With the images and working notes to look closer.

A little outside the story.
The characters can leave their world for a moment. Here, they join the work of making it: looking at drawings, asking difficult questions, and occasionally getting in the way.
