WALKING OUT OF SLEEP: encounters with lichen territory
Tamsin Green
(manual.editions: 2023)

a book of multiple layers, that reflect the organism and the environmental conditions that they require to survive; a book of multiple encounters, from the controlled conditions of the herbarium, to wild wanderings; a book that can be read from multiple directions, or viewpoints, starting with science or experience.

The book explores one woman’s relationship with Map Lichen and the places that they inhabit. Over a period of two years she travelled to locations across the UK to spend time with the lichen in often remote and challenging terrain. She walked and slept among the lichen, sensitising herself to the elements that these friendly green crusts need to survive.. The ‘maps’ guiding her into lichen territory.
