An artist book that is an imaginative narrative space that explores the relationship between fibre and storytelling on several levels, based on my inherited fibre-knowledge.
The awareness and importance of generational knowledge is intertwined with the fragments of stories, memories lan-guage, terms and expressions related to fibre. This opened up a fresh awareness for fictional and non-fictional writing as a method for researching and analyzing, and as artworks in their own rights.
The texts in the artist book are a precursor to the ongoing body of texts I am working on such as The Rhyzomatic Third Tree (2024-2025), Collection of Second Thoughts on Decology (2025).

A scrapbook for processing the thoughts, notes and dialogues from the (Re)learning Tree-Time workshops (Pt 1, May 2024).
The artist book making process gathers all thoughts in one place. This gathering has the double role of communicating the processes and of fuelling inspiration for futher artworks.
