About this listen
Hope Bourne, the self-sufficient artist and writer, lived "off-grid" on Exmoor, long before the phrase was even coined.This week Amy is joined by journalist and writer Sara Hudston to explore Bourne's fiercely independent life. Together, they delve into Bourne’s profound connection to the land, her strikingly candid diaries, and her unconventional choices that defied the expectations of her time. They also discuss the new exhibition of Bourne's work at the Somerset Museum of Rural Life, which Hudston has helped to curate.
This episode brings Bourne’s world vividly to life, revealing a woman who carved her own path through rugged landscapes and rural solitude, leaving behind a legacy as wild and uncompromising as the moors she called home.
