Toot

hey @richardacarter - I had a lovely wander through the haiku garden one morning recently.

green willow / in a field of dong quai / the snail seller.

This haiku (told to me by a cat) really stuck out to me, and I almost lost it! The moment I finished reading it my browser reloaded itself for no reason and I quickly scrawled the words down from memory. I illustrated this in response to that experience :]

@richardacarter It was a little bittersweet, as I'd been thinking about visiting the garden at each turn of the season but usually ended up forgetting, and by the time I remembered to visit it in 'Spring', it'd passed me by. It's already been too hot to move on some days here, which is pretty unprecedented for November.

Thanks so much for this lovely little reprieve, I look forward to when I next think to take a wander in the garden.

@eatallyourdarlings Hello there! What a lovely response to the poem, and thank you so much for sharing it 🙂 At my end of the world, I have less than a day until the season changes over to winter, so will be taking a wander anon. I always hoped this would be encountered as a durational piece, to visit every so often, and it's really great to hear you have been enjoying it as such. Thank you again for your kind words 🙂

@richardacarter Thank you lovely! I’ve just gone down a bit of a rabbit hole on ‘Beware Blue Skies’, really evocative work.

@eatallyourdarlings Ah thank you kindly again 🙂 It was a privilege to contribute to it, even in a small way, and I was quite struck seeing it fully installed the other day. I hope it similarly engages the public.
