I am doing an art (poetry & visual art) course online via Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre. It is under the umbrella of Earth Voices, a course that happens every year at Woodbrooke but this being 2020 it has to be distant. This blog will be of my explorations - looking at Near Distance plus 5 distinct modules: Maps of the Unknown World, Present & Other Tenses, A Change in the Weather, Tracks & Traces.
