------------------------------------------
Still pondering,
Cultural resonances - Neolithic Eden circular time sensibilities : Roman Eden linear efficiencies.
Still imagining,
a post plasticised post Neolithic Anthropocene (Garden of ? [new forms of human biodiversity stewardship]) Eden.
Now day dreaming,
Mayburgh, KART, LRT - three monuments as arenas for contemporary performance / installation.
Now considering,
Deeper Eden, as group journey from Red Gill Beck, Black Moss, to Solway.
Many thanks to Team Eden Arts, Adrian, Bryoney, Heather, Jo, Mags & Simon for support & discussions on the residency.
