The Wall

During a 3-day residency in Wingham for the NSW Regional Futures project, I spent time exploring Wingham Brush Nature Reserve. Early one morning over the October long weekend (3 Oct '22), I recorded a walk on the boardwalk. Hear about the giant fig trees, listen to the birds and grey-headed flying foxes, my descriptions of the recent flood damage on the Manning River, and my thoughts about exploring regional futures as an artist. Recorded on a mobile phone. More information about Regional Futures and my Vaticinor project - https://kvgoldsmithart.com/current-work/vaticinor/
