Connections

We spend our time separating things and categorising them. Identifying differences. While also constantly looking for connections, an underlying structure to the world or universe. The world is fluid, everything joined, reflected, codependent, intertwined. All we need is a different perspective, to see the connections. Once a props company owner pointed out in conversation that objects didn’t cease to exist from era to era. A house in the 1920’s might still contain Victorian objects. Pockets of time and categories are created by us, time is fluid and everything exists within it. Like a river forging shapes in the landscape. Carrying life, always moving, shifting, changing. While walking through the countryside the hedgerows remind me of reefs. Organic, growing connected structures stretching out across the landscape, teeming with life. Birds flit in and out racing like darting fish. Raptors cruise above, floating, circling and watching. Flashes of flickering colours from blooming flowers, fruits and fluttering insects. The wind shifting through the trees, like the rushing of ocean waves. Coral-like fungi and seaweed lichen nestle In hidden spaces. The landscape is constantly moving, changing, growing and dying back then springing in to life. A constant ebb and flow.
