Carrying Over: sighting, citing and siting the stork 

In this session writer and artist Maria Howard invites you to reimagine the relationship between water and land, between metaphor and action, by tracing the path of a migrating stork. Through site writing, speculation and material experimentation with clay, participants will write from the body and the land, engaging with myth and fable to inhabit an other than human perspective as a way of conjuring alternative futures for the next generation.  

Before the session we encourage participants to gather materials for writing and drawing as well as a small amount of clay or mud – this can be from your backyard, a park, a river, or an art supplies shop, the important thing is to feel something of the earth in your hands.
