This weekend at Field // self-directed residency at the Lake Farm Country Park // walking barefoot // Sun-gazing// talking to @artists_for_plants 🌱 learning about Chocó, Colombia and Alberoni Dunes, Venice as places of vital ecological importance // thinking about the impermanence of all living things, shifting landscapes // appreciating and noticing the biodiversity of local places // i have visited this particular spot in Lake Farm Country Park regularly over the past year, and it is visibly a lot richer this season, in both species and numbers // thinking about the affects of human presence on biodiversity and how it can enrich a place rather than deplete, if living in true coexistence // i have made sure to leave no inorganic traces of my being here // earlier this year i planted a young Callisia Fragrans here (following an unsuccessful attempt at the post office - she was meant to go to a new home as part of a plant swap; see blog https://olgmeister.tumblr.com/) - she got devoured almost instantly by the slugs and the snails, while no other plants here show signs of being their food to such extent; this shows how perfectly evolved the cohabitation of species can be even in a place that is so easily overlooked // ☀️ #field #artistresidency #selfdirectedresidency #embodiedknowledge #earthpace #local #biodiversity #ecology #ecosystems (at Lake Farm Country Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPgJ0POFSNFgTiZFjC1NdblvrOATOOxgTyoZdA0/?utm_medium=tumblr
