“SAYING THINGS IN WORDS BEFORE WORDS”
Recently landed: “Saying things, in words before words”
In treetops elsewhere, though we almost missed it, we fluttered in swiftly with a zine, (Imagined) field notes, created especially for this year’s World Book Night 2025 exhibition and mail art swap, Tell The Trees (Listen to the Trees). Our contribution, a single-sided A4 sized celebration of trees in the form of a zine that can be printed, folded (to A7), and cut upon receipt, and read, features another type of possum, the Leadbeater’s possum, which by specimen is the only way we’ve ever actually seen one.

As I looked at the clouds in the sky, I thought of ‘our’ now wild possums at Staughton Vale. Through the window, one cloud looked like a rabbit on their hind legs, running Alice in Wonderland late. Another, like a tortoise, in profile. My section of sky, a small wedge visible through the glass panes, linked to the sky above the heads of Rose, Constance and Harry. And what a part of the sky they will see and scamper and harvest and feast and sniff beneath. Stars, aplenty, too.
