A transmedial project which began in 2022. Planting 30 oak saplings and burying 30 silver coins across 7 locations around the UK, where I lived over a 30-year period.
I re-visited each of seven locations, planting an oak sapling and a silver ten-pence piece for each year that I lived there: acts of contrition towards myself for remaining in a broken relationship, contrition to the land for the years of carbon damage and toxic living.
I spent time in mindful/reflective walking, collecting found objects, taking photos and making sketches. Through this process, I explored memories and emotional affect triggered by the location.
