Saturation and Space

"Our Senses Are Always Cross Talking..."*

I find it all too easy to get into the habit of becoming cerebral - taking security and challenge in letting my brain do what it seems to like to do best - making meaning. Stimulating but… exhausting.

The quiet of Norway on a family holiday offered space to stop. Instead, the colours and textures of the landscape were too novel, too intense, for me to have to make meaning. Taking in was enough.

In this Substack, I’m resisting the pull of verbalising and reflecting on what I sensed whilst there. I share the images below, not to share holiday snaps, but to string together, domino-like, some of the colours, textures and forms which stand out in my memory. To pocket a few elements, and leave them to stew.
