​

Welcome to Field Notes, a home for documenting my practice-as-research journey during my MA in Arts Practice (Arts, Health & Wellbeing). After many years of working as a nature connection practitioner, facilitator, and horticultural therapist in community mental health, I am taking this time to pause, reflect, and return to the roots of my creative practice.​ Field Notes will be a space for slowing down. A time for following invisible threads and to track footprints in the snow. A place for questioning dominant narratives, unsettling inherited ways of being, and co-creating more reciprocal relationships at the intersection of nature connection, arts and health. My art and movement-based practice is a landscape of becoming. It is an internal process of undoing and committing to decolonial turns within my own life, practice and research, which is an ongoing journey.​ The following Field Notes are developed from my practices of being with the land, through movement, walking and writing. Here, I will be following threads of phenomenology, Butoh and my own embodied experience with the landscapes that guide me.​
