I feel happy to be back in the woods and creating work. I feel the work is developing a connective thread and a direction. Reflecting my interest in making site responsive work, I’ve started making “forest letters”. It came out of the whole logging experience, I needed to voice my thoughts, and observations. The letters are paper scrolls that are visual or written resposes to being in the place at that moment. The scrolls are then rolled into bark cases, which are all over the forest since the logging took place. these are left in the woods for people to come across in the nature of a message in a bottle, or chance encounter. I like this way of presenting the work, although over time they are nibbled and weathered. College is taking a back seat at the moment with no lectures etc. this is a good thing, as I am able to get down to some work. There is a window before the kids Summer holidays start. We have an evaluation point soon, which does wonders for motivation!
