East Wind

‘Burton Pidsea passes into the riding and there is nothing out there to think with. I won’t remember. Malcolm would have sent us cross-country, the woods and contours had specific values, a knowledge that we moved through. I pretended to use the compass in my pocket, black arrow, red needle. In time it became a pretend compass. I learned to read a map by fixing a position and rotating the map around me. I made everything the north…’ East Wind is a set of three hand-stitched and stamped pamphlets containing a sequence of lyrical essays and haiku that narrate the author’s continuous 24 hour walk from Hull to Withernsea and Hornsea over the 10th and 11th May 2014. The set is limited to a numbered edition of 25. Each set comes with a extra enveloped haiku unique to that copy.
