In march of 2025 I took a trip to the Lake District with my family, it was a much needed break from the hustle and bustle of the busy city. It gave me the chance to slow down, tune back in with nature and focus on the things I find important. Stacking stones became one of my new favourite things, bringing me totally into the present, you would be able to tell where I want as I would leave a trail of them behind me.
After bringing the joy back into awareness, I spent a lot of time listening. The quiet forest, a group of birds, the way the wind crept through branches, stones collapsing, the stillness of the lake, voices echoing through the valley. But one place brought me the most peace of mind, the small flowing stream. I would spend all morning there hearing it burble. I made some recordings of the stream and felt inspired to encapsulate my feelings at the time by using them a backdrop for the piece that is now ‘Untitled(glisten)’.
