thinking/making: catching thought in process

2 April 2017: My Minds I:mpulse

(re)searching ‘Buddo’ as ‘mother goddess’, Hoy Sound, Orkney (with Lucy Gresley)

“what form could there be that would better express the satisfaction of those needs [food, shelter, warmth, safety, children] than this small, carved, fecund female? Unless it were the form of a whole hilly landmass, built-up and carved and shaped into the pregnant body of a woman……so that by walking on the land, you walked on the torso of her divinity, you explored her breasts, her armpits, the space between her thighs, or ran the endless ripple and swell of her back for mile after mile”
