A Feather Landing

When everything stops, what remains? What, or whom, is asking to be noticed? This digital writing exhibition is an invitation into stillness. Five writers experiment with communicating the wordless, drawing upon language as an imperfect signpost towards the shimmering presence that exists beneath and beyond all things.

To read the five pieces, click each of the illustrations, which were created by Sophie Lane in response to the written works.
