13:03:26 From Gwendolyn Meyer to Everyone : hello 13:12:48 From Jenny Reddish to Everyone : congratulations on the publication! 13:14:56 From Richard Povall to Everyone : Dear all. Recommend you use the ‘View’ setting rather than the Gallery so that you can see the work that’s being shown 13:15:13 From Richard Povall to Everyone : If you have a question or comment this is the place to start - leave it here 13:15:34 From Lucy in Tooting to Richard Povall(Direct Message) : Well done!! Hello x 13:17:49 From Mat Osmond to Everyone : “Life takes the shape of a large joke” :-) 13:25:11 From Mat Osmond to Everyone : Stunning, Dom. Speaking the unspeakable. 13:28:44 From Mark Watson to Everyone : "If it ain't practical, it ain't spiritual." Yes! 13:28:45 From Richard Povall to Everyone : ‘Artists as the remembers of the way down’ 13:28:55 From Mat Osmond to Everyone : Q for both: does this new phrase ‘deep adaptation’ speak well to do what your work allows? Does adaptation have any specific meaning or resonance for you, in those terms? 13:30:38 From Richard Povall to Charlotte Du Cann Dark Mountain(Direct Message) : Charlotte - a question from Mat 13:30:43 From Richard Povall to Charlotte Du Cann Dark Mountain(Direct Message) : Q for both: does this new phrase ‘deep adaptation’ speak well to do what your work allows? Does adaptation have any specific meaning or resonance for you, in those terms? 13:32:28 From Richard Povall to Everyone : Dear all. Just a reminder that you can ask a question or make a comment here in the chat and we will pass it on. 13:33:32 From Richard Povall to Everyone : You’re listening to Charlotte DuCan from Dark Mountain speaking with writer Dom Bury and artist Caroline Ross who are both contributors to the next Dark Mountain book, due out on the 15th April. 13:34:26 From Jacqui Jones to Everyone : Great questions Charlotte! 13:34:38 From Mat Osmond to Everyone : Dom: Jackdaw mind chimes with much older nations of monkey-mind obv., but I think I hear you wanting to uncouple from a more specific new collective madness - social-media-mind? 13:34:40 From Jenny Reddish to Everyone : Caroline, talking about using materials given to you by the land around you reminds me of this bit from a letter by Rainer Maria Rilke, "For our ancestors, a house, a fountain, even clothing, a coat, was much more intimate. Each thing, almost, was a vessel in which what was human found and defined itself. .... Now, from America, empty, indifferent things sweep in—pretend things, life-traps... A house, in the American sense, an American apple, a grapevine, bears no relation to the hope and contemplation with which our ancestors informed and beheld them." (Substitute "American" for "modern" or "capitalist" or whatever makes sense here!) Is your shift from acrylic paints and so on a shift away from "life-traps"? And you mentioned living in a post-industrial Thames borderland -- do waste plastics and other non-bio-degradable waste ever make their way into your grave goods? Or are you more selective? 13:34:42 From Richard Povall to Everyone : ‘You can’t use the machine’s tool to take down the dominance of the machine' 13:35:34 From Richard Povall to Everyone : ‘I am kin with other things’ Caroline reminded us 13:36:16 From Mat Osmond to Everyone : “It’s not just a nice idea that I’m kin with other things. It’s just, I’m kin with other things”. Love that, Caroline. 13:39:31 From Dita in Devon UK to Everyone : I feel that what you're both bringing is life-giving and life-affirming. That slowing down enough to feel and honour the "being kin with other things", the pause that awe brings us... My question goes along the lines of how do we invite / allow for more of that in the places and for the people who are deep under the cogs of the temporary yet stubborn "colonised" machinery. To those who are too busy keeping themselves alive, or at least believing that it is so. 13:40:27 From Richard Povall to Charlotte Du Cann Dark Mountain(Direct Message) : Charlotte - feel free to pick any of the questions but I also think there are or two inputs worth reading out? Or inviting the contributor to say? 13:41:19 From Richard Povall to Everyone : Please feel free to use the ‘Reactions’ button to raise your hand otherwise we may not be able to see you 13:42:11 From Gebruiker to Everyone : Beautiful poem, thanks a lot. 13:42:20 From Catalina Christensen to Everyone : Caroline how do you decide which future objects will be part of your ongoing life work? 13:42:25 From Carolyn Deby to Everyone : both so so beautiful! thank you 13:45:24 From Lucy in Tooting to Everyone : Great.

Deep bow of appreciation. 13:58:00 From Sarah Scaife to Everyone : Easter is carefully constructed to carry us through the life-death-life cycle. As is spring. Let's not leave this meeting in the underworld loop of the cycle without rising again. Maybe we can all face the sunshine and recall each other and this session on Sunday - and give appreciation for the many ways we do connect. We all have the means to access zoom and the internet for example, which means that we are here... 13:58:03 From Tony Lopez to Everyone : Are these events all online Matt? 13:58:05 From Lisa Mortensen to Everyone : Thank you Caroline, Charlotte, Dom and all, for a very special hour - it has given so much, that will feed me for a long time. 13:59:37 From Caroline Ross to Everyone : if anyone wants to write with questions, you can email me via my website www.carolineross.co.uk 13:59:49 From Rika Krithara to Everyone : Thank you all so much! 13:59:50 From Gwendolyn Meyer to Everyone : Thank you so much another intersecting art.
