Steps in the process… all of them matter, not just the initial direct experience of being with country. A chain of performances of story, a transmutation of experiences of being with through stories and their performances and re-performances, as actors appear, disappear and re-appear with other new and old actors. The stories do different work, they don’t just have a singular purpose or a singular audience or meaning. We become inscribed in stories and are ‘made’ through or emerge from stories. Our connections are articulated and are there on the ‘outside’ for us to see. It is a process of making things visible (and maybe other things invisible).

Unmediated
intimate
sensing, presencing in
place.
Shaping perception.
A shield;
Creating the reality or facade of ‘other’,
protection from the outside?
And what is inside?
Semi-permeable,
What flows in-between?
Peeling, cracking,
scorched
like the earth. Textured like the earth.
Mirror or seamless continuation?
Touching.
Allowing sensitivities to be touched.
Place
where
I
FEEL
connection.
