From mid-September till mid-November in 2019 I was honoured to participate in a residency at Est-Nord-Est résidence d’artistes where I continued working with the geologic time and stone bodies. I was researching how the seemingly non-living and non-moving participates in the making of living and moving, how the stones and meteorites have entered human lives, and how would it be possible to communicate with the geologic in the simplest of ways of listening and touching. The name ‘Living or Nearly So’ is referring to a text in ‘The Overstory’ by Richard Powers.

This residency was part of Creative European Pepinieres and Est-Nord-Est Centre mobility program and kindly supported by CALQ, Stroom Den Haag and Cultural Endowment of Estonia.
