Love Letters to Dugongs: A Walking Postcard
This sound-walk created by Bronwin Patrickson is part Dugong Love Letter, part walking souvenir of a 2023 two week art-science residency engaging with the sparkling ecology of the island, Weaving Waters on Yarun. (Yarun being the traditional name for Bribie Island off the coast of Queensland, on the east coast of Australia, which is shaped just like a Dugong.) The 2023 Weaving Waters Residency facilitated by Tracey Benson and Treecreate Studios brought together a diverse group of artists and scientists from around the world.

49. Karen Solie, Wellwater
Karen Solie’s Wellwater arrived last week, before it won the Governor-General’s Award, and its ascension (not the first accolade Solie’s writing has received) prompted me to bring it along to read on the train. It’s astonishing, so much so that I don’t know what to say about it. My first reading, against the sound of … Continue reading 49. Karen Solie, Wellwater →

100 Circles
Lenzie Moss is a designated Local Nature Reserve in East Dunbartonshire, near the city of Glasgow, UK. It is a boggy and marshy area with a history of peat extraction. The Moss now serves as a vital habitat for diverse wildlife, including water vole and bog rosemary, and the green hairstreak butterfly, alongside areas of silver birch woodland.
My name is David Overend. I moved to the edge of Lenzie Moss in the summer of 2023 and began to regularly take the 25 minute walk round its border, sometimes daily. I have walked with friends, my children, and once with an expert on water vole habitats. Mainly I have walked alone: as a break from work; to start the day with some fresh air; in search of kestrels and deer. Every time I complete the circle, I notice, learn or experience something new. The walk has become something of a ritual, a way of marking the change in the seasons.
Since I started to follow this route, I have had the feeling that there is more to discover and that this repeated circular walk might lead me somewhere. So, I am walking it 100 more times, each time with a different person from the local community, or a visiting artist or researcher with some interest in peatlands. As I share these encounters on this blog, I hope that a co-authored text will emerge, bringing a series of walked dialogues to a wider readership, and perhaps finding a way for the Moss to tell its stories.
If you would like to be part of this project and join me for a walk round Lenzie Moss, please get in touch.
