Life Threads

• ​Life long traveler, swallow, sun-seeker stalking the mysteries of remote lands,nature and communities from the inside.

•  Researching  and contemplating ideas around the life-force/embodiment interface.

• Integrating creative practices that seek to re-configure human embodiment and map its drive to find equilibrium with itself and its space/place/mystical invisible matrix.

• To encourage us all to preserve nature, raw and wild. Stop the destruction and desecration.  Reclaim, reinvigorate and cleanse all land that has been lain to waste.

• Love the Earth more, stand with the heart trees more, wake up to life in partnership with nature.
