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. |
