delicate snowflakes
in a brief warm sunshine glow
gently fall and fade

A response to a walking art research residency at Björkö Konstnod (BKN), Sweden during autumn 2023.

/

after initial photographs
of excitement
I wonder if I feel a great sense of peace
because of the light
am I encountering the place
or the light?
the Pacific North West
or Scotland?
thoughts of practice
a return to meditative walking
to be drawn inside
in a place where I know nothing 
and I am not known
but then I am told I look suspicious
and I am interested in how everything here
the houses
the road
feels so much closer to nature
than the rural places
of home
