we anticipated for 2 years this visit in physical time - our Part 2 in 2022
listening
undoing*
we received
we listened again
we observed alchemical changing of light - locations of intensity conjuring unearthly beauty, delights of relics - so often mentioned this year - of time when we could gather, merging past and present*
measured and marked, weaving
from this light, colour, sound
some danced, immersed in synched coincidence, in a frequency of a small orchestra of strings
experimenting with rainbow pigments - we re'marked
mapped in memory of the photograph: washed, rained and diluted
we made space for ourselves in this meadowed landscape, small rooms, moments
we played as a kind of resistance**
