WALK II unfolds through the eyes, colour is your guide. Attune to the spectrum of time in place as nature comes to bloom. In sensitising to colour, we will collectively explore our relationship with the natural environment and ask what is our role in preserving it? Pausing at a designated sensing station on the trail we will observe how the different senses translate and interpret the environment around us. What knowledge do they bring?During this collective walk we will communally map our observations, capturing a shared ecological moment in time of this ever evolving landscape.
