Adaptability is creativity.
Two years in the Welsh valleys proved to me again that the impulse to make art survives any circumstance. 👇

On Leaving The Valley (an impromptu poem). Link in bio 🔗

I learnt a lot living in Abercarn, practically in seclusion, over the past two years appreciating my talks with Sally the next door neighbour, Nav in the corner shop, and all the incidental conversations and greetings.

My frequent, often precarious walks up the steep mountains, an existing embodied practice, built a deeper trust and connection to the land.

While there, creative constraints shifted my focus away from my existing practice to other modes of expression, very much in keeping with the dictates of environmental and material circumstances which I have and continue to experience but that I do not let hinder me.

It's no surprise then that this poem was forthcoming. by @farahallibhai

My grand mother walked to the shore to cross the kala pani
leaving what little she had behind
hoping for an abundant life
carry the prayers of ancestors long past
of liberation
of unfurling
a flowing
a swirling
taking flight
Shimmering in the light
