Heading into 2022 with a deluxe studio workshop in the Naarm (Melbourne) northside.
This has been incubating for over a year now, and I’m delighted to finally share it with my local community.

Ritual
The green ones have come from the other world, tipsy like the breeze up to some foolishness…
—Rumi
As I was assembling this seasonal altar in the forest yesterday, I had a strong flash of body memory from when I was a kid. I had a book about a little girl who made furniture for faeries… I don’t really remember what the story was, but I remember the bodied feeling of enchantment specific to that story. Now there’s a whole new story to be stitched together from the gossamer threads of this breezy forest interlude. In the mix is a seam linking old Irish faerie lore and Rumi’s mention of ‘the other world’.
“Inhabited space transcends geometric space” //Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space 1958.
The virtual space, while geometrically awkward for the body, is inhabited.
