speak to the horizon: an embodied conversation with a 5km radius

a collection of photographs and words

These poems and pictures were generated in the spring of 2021. While taking daily walks in my prescribed 5km radius (per Ireland’s COVID regulations), I started a conversation with the land--my mother's land. I applied Pauline Oliveros's Deep Listening practice to my encounters with Cork's hills, spring flowers, and mossy trees. I tuned into the unceasing unfurling of the land surrounding me and saw new layers reveal themselves. Then I started talking back. To remember, to experience, to invite my mother's land to be mine, too.
