Essay: https://unlikely.net.au/issue-08/becoming-bird
This collection of sounds and imagery began in lockdown with a request to a group of colleagues and friends to leave voicemails or messages with and about the bird song they heard as they walked through parks, fields, or city streets. In exchange I would call them and leave similar messages. These sounds were layered into other local and collected sounds recorded on daily walks. Becoming Bird is a record of walking the landscape at a time when the world was trying to make sense of Covid and lockdown.

The Dreamer Awakes, brought traditional storytelling to new audiences to harness and access its healing properties creating new ways of being together after lockdown, while simultaneously exploring new perceptions and processes to reframe the past.
