Sparky, furious, untidy tree,

with your limbs akimbo, all snaggy and crooked.

Like you just woke up from a restless sleep,

breathless, wild.

This pair of drawings are for Chris and our local walks collaboration, which currently may be a publication/video poem/storyboard/contact sheet. We are not certain as yet, but we’ll see what emerges.

This is the beginning of a collaboration with a poet friend Chris Turnbull from Ontario, Canada. We often speak with each other on social media and met a couple of years ago in Edinburgh, fleetingly. I have loved her work for ages and am delighted to work with her on this project. We are intending to ‘trade’ local walks that we are taking whilst in Lockdown. We will respond to each others text or photographs or drawings/paintings of our respective perambulations, whilst also offering our own reflections on our known landscapes. I don’t know where it will go, or what it might become but the similarities and differences will be interesting for us both.

This it where it ends – Dreaming Peatbogs, the point at which I will go no further.  A week of  brushing, wiping, stripping, and smearing has brought me here. I have been holding my breath for days.

The title is a line from one of Mark Goodwins poems and whose poetry will be alongside the drawings and paintings of Rannoch Moor in a book we are currently working on. His words have kept me company through this work.
