36 page zine publication, 8 × 11 cm

Paper with collected catkins embedded on the surface

This zine documents my 4-month journey to find a specific willow tree. One acquaintance told me about after sharing my hollow project. What began as curiosity became a practice of returning, over a dozen times. I know every tree in that acre now, except the one I’m looking for.

The stop I get off at is called Home Close. Home is close. But when will I ever be close to you, willow?

Reaching, reaching toward something that does not respond. I am here in relation to something that does not change its shape for me; the tree does not answer, the willow does not appear, but the work continues as I return. The gesture becomes the form.

If nature could respond, what might it sound or feel like? What if nature has always been responding, just in forms we've mistaken for silence?
