This piece emerged from research I was doing in the Fens in East Anglia. I chose the area specifically as I had ancestral links there but was also interested in finding out more about my ‘geological roots’. The work began here.  It speaks to the historic and environmentally catastrophic draining of the Fens and the privileging of farming monocultures but hopes to raise broader questions about our relationship with the non-human world, materiality, loss, and interdependence.
