A chronicle of transitions exploring an essential paradox of the natural world: that change is the only constant. Structured like ripples in a pool, the work begins with references to the past, examining an ancient emotional relationship with the world in terms of mythology and belief, and ends with today's scientific data-based view. Within these parameters relationships to place are explored, ranging from ten thousand years of human habitation to one summer during which everything changed. An analogue photographic record moves through sections: a farmyard in relation to a human life, grassland in a re-wilding process, a brook as a primal vein, a forest where old stories still wander, burial mounds referring to millennia of activity, and an age-old habitat of vegetation, all coming together in image and language. As a leitmotif throughout, extracted plant dyes and their names, taken from the very locations depicted, link the different time zones.
