In October we rolled out #TheMossyCarpet for a new collaboration with Far Flung & Sewcial Guild - an uplifting, sensory, collaborative performance which encouraged audiences to slow down, connect and think about the small actions we can make together, to look after our environment #artandenergy

It’s a good day for the ecology bookshelf, two #moss books arrived in the post from @artandenergycic.bsky.social to be used in peatland outreach events I’m involved in, and also for my partner to take to her work to use to teach primary school children about bryophytes
A top down view of two books about moss - the moss story and be more moss, both from the art and energy collective - on a wooden desk, at the top of the photo a keyboard and screen for a laptop which is displaying the USS Voyager LCARS engineering screen. To the right a purple mouse and to the left an arduino uno with breadboard, which the photographer did not mean to capture and had thought well out of the way when taking the photo and presents here partly for authenticity and partly through lack of desire to take another photo or edit this one in any way. The small plastic bags in the top right are for moss samples, I promise.
