Personal Side – some versions of a biography
Someone said: “Put the peas in the water for a night to break the germination rest”. Walking alone Watching Walk-watching Urban Field Paved meadows En Garde-ning Greens Plant my feet Poking in various cultural fields Draw a line Write a line Dance a line Stance a line Miniature life in a universe Dark matter Edible Particles Share greens with worms and snails SHARE SCREENS go slow but steady ongoing search research physical tangible (digital)
With a background in Mime, Fine Arts and Gardening, I proceed my way through life in a non-spectacular mode and capture the daily routines of my fellow passers-by in mimographical scores. My research is local. I live in an expanded perma(nent) culture in which I drift like a contemporary Hunter-Gatherer. I chase valueless components. Slugs go slow but steady. I stray alongside. How edible is my view? I sow seeds for crops to thrive in my street to become an urban food forest. Passers-by pace on, I kneel down on the pavement and write a letter to my neighbourhood.
