Evolving The Forest Just published by art.earth Books, Evolving The Forest is a collection of essays, poems, papers and artwork reflecting on our complex relationships with woods and trees. I am happy to say I have a long poem included in the collection, a poetic version / vision of my book, titled #LivingWithTrees. I intend to produce an illustrated stand-alone version later this year. |

“With this new year hope and hunger, my task is to . . . . . . balance the hunger with the hope, the gathering in with the spreading out, the inbreath with the outbreath . . . be that nexus of exchange, that point of transformation, taking in the given and offering out the possible . . . listen still for earthy counterpoint rhythm tone and give them voice . . . focus rays of sunlight into vision" (from Authentic Artist workshop) |
