Autumn is in the air
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts and I know of no other thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be alright.”
Soren Kierkegaard

Hanging by a Thread
Three months into the lockdown. Now I’m much more aware of the awakening of spring and moving to early summer. I have watched the spring flowers bloom and set seed, the ash and the sycamore are already bearing their keys. I have wandered over the catchment watershed territory listening to the calls of the lapwing and curlew and the glorious song of the skylark. All the time the bandage grows and the chaos reigns.

Thinking through the ideas. The challenge to find in nature new things each day. There are plenty but my eye/mind isn’t trained to spot them. Hopefully I’ll get better.
Spinning and knitting a bandage for the length of the lock down.
Collecting material on my daily walk to incorporate into the bandage.

Back to the Ash Trees
After the tree a week for Twitter, I’m now making work for the Ash Tree.
Amulets for Watershed Settings, at the framers, for an exhibition later in the year, maybe.
