Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy – your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself .~ Annie Leibovitz
Taking inspiration from our surroundings, this year we will explore the poetry of light. Light is everything but is also momentary and transient. Drawing upon Sheree’s expertise in writing about nature, place and belonging, this week will combine walking, memory, story-telling, ekphrasis and science, as we explore how we can capture light in words. The Impressionists strove to depict the changing qualities of light, accentuating the passage of time and of movement through delicate and distinct brushstrokes of paint. We will also strive, with our pens and paper, to render the multiple qualities of light.
Paying close attention to light’s dance, each day we will connect with the world around us to gain a greater mastery of our writing abilities as well as a greater understanding of ourselves. We will keep our eyes, ears, nose, mouth, fingers, feelings and minds open as we write beyond our expectations.
