Hello Jo 😊, a few observations. Its been 7 plus years since you posted this. Much more time has passed since you conceived of the vision and made this film. As I lay here at 4:52am in my forest cabin on 19 hectres (40+ acres) here next to a wild ancient river in SW Washington State (USA) for context. I cant help but wonder how you have grown as a person, artist, and observer of the world you and your partner filmed as we come to grips with "overshoot" and an earth thats past the tipping points that will keep us humans surviving? Im a man, born a black African boy, informally educated, have been resourceful in life to assemble land and a basic life thats not difficult to maintain. Below at the river is an old stone fishing weir thats been here thousands of years. Those that came before left their stone tools and objects of their lives, including stone art all over the land as its clear this was a good place to make a home. As i make art, carving some of the fallen old growth cedar stump hulks or painting as the land inspires, i cant avoid the feeling of wondering what other creatives are feeling and doing? What are your observations as a Kiwi?
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience!!
Jo, you have the most phenomenal career! What a great video story of this project!
