I love this photo and the description of the long slow fade. I similarly imaged her dissolution and passing into the Bardos

I thought of you, and the other Lappitites
Sending love and heartfelt condolences to you all.
May we all realise that softness with overtones.

I was so delighted to make it to the final hour of GLOBUS HYSTERICUS, an exhibition by performance duo Kainulainen & Latva at Forum Box in Helsinki, that I had to jot a few words down about it, which you can read here.

I was just thinking about the last artwork that got me really excited and inspired here in Finland.
A powerfully articulate and moving work, attributed to Elokapina, Finland and Restore Wetlands, Sweden, 2024.

Well considered for it's impact, and - for it's ease of removal.

Dinner with Alphoniso Lingus, recently departed, almost exactly ten years ago following our key notes at the Medical Humanities Conference in Dartington.
We adored him. Gosh he was gorgeous, so open, enquiring and curious.

The Roots of the Mountain Ash Embrace The Stone II, by Natalia Beylis 1 track album

In my foresound I listen to a drone from home, the squeezing from a breathy organ - the air sighs. The Roots of the Mountain Ash Embrace The Stone II play like an underscore to travels and loiterers, lingerings and falterings.

‘Where are you from?’ Refrains from motorbike taxi drivers - their question and my answer blown away by the wind; repeated by chiselers, the cook, the wife, the thief and her lover. They all want to know.
‘Ireland,’ I say. ‘The island in the west of Europe’.
Some know, some don’t.
