Allen Ginsberg instructed us,
“Notice what you notice”
“Catch yourself thinking”
“Observe what’s vivid”
Earlier this year Simone Kenyon’s new work Into The Mountain, commissioned by the Scottish Sculpture Workshop, was performed in the Cairngorms. ‘After Into The Mountain’ is a reflection from John Hall, Wendy Kirkup and Simon Murray who went to Into The Mountain together.
We offer John, Wendy and Simon’s reflection, not as a review (pacem the blog title), but as a consideration of the experience. In order to maintain the three voices this piece is a pdf which you can access here: After into the mountain – final version with images
