Sometimes I wonder 'why' am I doing this, is there another career inside me?
I have researched and studied trees and the subconscious: the book list is now enormous, the information is gigantic, the practical work is massive and my time is precious and limited. I am not isolated in this project, quite the opposite, I am never alone, I am not an I, this project is so Zen. This project is integrated with nature and the spirit of the trees, it creates itself, I am just a passenger on this ride. Who is coming on this journey with me? War of the trees, yes it is! My most recent attribute is Roger Deakin's Wildwood, a journey through the trees, and I have just gone through a heartfelt week of revisiting 18,ooo Tides , by David Nash at the old Towner Art Gallery site, Eastbourne. This beautiful sculpture came about when I was studying 'The Sea' at Eastbourne, Hastings, Worthing and Hove (all different). I so closely identified with the concept it put me into a quantum spin. Now I read about Wooden Bolder, I understand Nash, it is and does belong to itself, assisted and borne from Nash and nature. I will be looking for 'Wooden Boulder' at sea forever too! I now need to visit Ash Dome to feel my way further. Each tree has a character, this is my story. Each tree has a role in creation and survival of Earth. I joke you not.
